Product Description

The SKP Gear Selecting Rod is an essential component in the drive train gear selector system for select Volkswagen models. This part serves as the linkage between the gear lever and the gearbox, allowing precise gear selection during driving. Constructed from durable plastic, it features integrated hooks and round ends designed to fit securely within the selector mechanism.

This gear selecting rod is compatible with Volkswagen vehicles, including popular models such as the Golf III, Jetta III, and Polo I. It is important to verify your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before purchasing to ensure correct fitment.

Common symptoms of a worn or damaged gear selecting rod include difficulty engaging gears, loose or sloppy gear lever movement, missed shifts, unusual noises when changing gears, and the inability to select certain gears. If you notice any of these issues, the gear selecting rod may need inspection or replacement.

Replacing the gear selecting rod restores accurate gear selection and helps prevent further wear to the gear selector assembly. It is recommended to replace this part if you experience shifting problems or during routine gearbox maintenance.
