This video and this Diesel Geek video maybe solves the cause of the shifting problems, BUT I found a 2011 6 Speed wid low milage for $300 (thanks to failed 2.0 TSI motors).I am interested to see how this goes. Always wanted to do that swap when I had the 5 speed as the 6 speed was such a good transmission.
I am assuming grinding the case is still necessary as nothing has changed on the motor or trans since that writeup was done.
The swap is up in the air right now, need to get off my A$$ and work on the car or source the other parts cheap, including the DieselGeek shifter coz suposedly the stock linkage is a really close fit.
On another note: We are thinking of taking off the UM/HEP Short RAM Intake Manifold while we are in there and putting back on the Stock IM. I'm doing some charity work modifying an IM for a Chump Car Team as well so that helps wid that.
EDIT: Lost out on the low (56k miles) milage 02Q transmission, there are quite a few around but they have a lot of milage .
