Snapped S3 Gear Box selector

Post by david7m » Sun Nov 30, 2008 4:05 pm

Hi

I managed to the snap the selector between third and fourth earlier this year. Has anyone else heard of or done this?

Had a new clutch, slave cyclinder etc while it was apart.

Apparently the pink label means it is special order, and the parts chap said he had worked for Audi for a long time and never sold one!!

Never heard of this on any 02M box, in fact, I've never heard of this on any VW / Audi box, even on the early 020 boxes..... I have heard of the roll-pin snap but never the fork.
Just can't get the smile off my face......
