    It sounds like you have a bolt that is slightly too long holding the weight to the selector tower. The bolt will bottom out against the trans case when you try to select reverse.

    I use the Redline Shockproof heavy weight. I think the additional cushion goes a LONG ways towards keeping the teeth on the all too fragile 3rd gear. I run 17 psi daily from my T4 60-1 and 3rd is holding up fine. http://www.redlineoil.com/products_gearlubricants.asp?categoryID=6&subCategoryID=16

    If you can get the B&M shifter...its outstanding with a positive stop built in to the shifter assembly, stainless and anodized aluminum contruction with delrin replacement pivot pin bushings which firm everything up a lot. I also further reduced slop by lightly pinching with pliers the small groove that the small ball with the boot on the bottom of the shifter sits in. http://www.customcarscentral.com/bnm45106-vw-golf-gti-iii--93-99-.html It is my favorite transmission mod second only to my Flipside Customs clutch fork. My original folded 30 degrees and caused me to lose the teet

    Double check for worn front wishbone bushes, ball joints and tie rods. Also check to make sure the rear caliper slides are lubed and moving free.

    If the cylinders are washed down with fuel when you check compression you will get very skewed (low) results. You may have not needed a rebuild.

    36mm socket for the oil filter housing. There are quite a few different lead removal tools on the market. I have used a bunch of them and this is my favorite http://www.zdmak.com/wbstore/main.asp?action=PROD&PROD=T10029&CTMP=1&LowCt=0

    I am trying to find a replacement alloy header tank for my MKIII Gti Vr6t that I can powdercoat to match the rest of the parts in the engine bay. I painted the plastic one black but its not holding up well at all. Canton/Mecca used to have one listed on their site but it is no longer available. Thanks in advance for any leads. Here is a pic for views.
