Hey all,

Does anyone know how difficult it is to replace the shift coupling in a bay window Kombi. I have changed one in a Beetle and it was a piece of cake, but I have read that I may need to remove the engine and transaxle to do the same on a Kombi.

Cheers,

Jamie

rear one is easy as n the most likely IMO to be in need of newness..

Are you guys talking about the coupling or the nylon bushes? There's just one coupling, right?

I'll replace the lot I think, especially if the bushes are so easy.
