Here we fix a common issue on the mark 4 Golf with the gear linkage preventing reverse gear from engaging. Follow and watch along for more on this resto to watch this car become an absolute machine!
@@dillon84 there’s plenty of adjustment in the linkages mate so lock it in neutral and try and few adjustments see how you get on, if the cable is dead it’ll become clear fairly quickly but they are fairly difficult cables to stretch so you might well get away with making some adjustments
@custombodyrepair yes your spot on. I've rung so many garages today for quotes and advice n some r saying gearbox, clutch it'll cost u 1k I'm no expert but it's defo not the gear box or clutch. Alot of mechanics have agreed with me n said yeah I think it could be as simple as adjusting or a cable.
Just basically make sure it’s nicely centred and when I do them I pull both the plastic adjuster and the treaded rod toward each other just to take out the play between the 2 mate 👍
