INSTALLING A RUBBER BUSHING

Sometimes you have to remove the tie-rod ends from the rack itself whilst institute, they are under the rubber boots...

Tie rod or its the sway bar

shop around at the junkyard for new pieces, i don't think you can get them at the dealer anymore, you can also check in the help section at the auto parts store.

The wire of the gear which goes near of the clutch box has the inside guarnition which normally is broken and need to be changed second the clutch must be controlled

the break light switch has a needle like rod that pushes up against a flat plastic bushing. The bushing has probably fallen out. Without the bushing the rod has nothing to push against. So, your brake light stays on. I replaced mine with a rubber press screw that fits perfectly in the small hole. Rubber press screws are generally used to secure rubber splash guards under vehicles. They push in and don't back out. Now reattach your break light switch and the rod will now have a bushing to push against.

The shift stabilizer rod bushing can be purchased from "The Festiva Store" for about $8. It appears to be a polyurethane version of the original rubber bushing which is no longer available. Happy motoring!

I need to know what model and year of car that you have.The most likely problem for bad shifts in a vw is that the bushing are worn out in the lower shift linkages of of the shift rod it's self.You can remove the rubber boot from the floor of the gear shift handle and you should be able to see the problem in the way it shifts.The clutch is not the problem or you would have a problem getting into all gears so start there.More info will be needed if this is an automatic,or if this a non-jetta based car,let me know what you have for a car please.

I wouldn't replace this bushing unless it's obviously worn out. I know of this recommended method when a puller is not available, pack the bearing bore with grease and use a socket and extension or similar rod that fits snug as possible in the bearing bore and hit this tool with a hammer as to use a hydraulic effect. the pressure of the grease will push the bearing out. This method is used on, rear wheel driven, flywheel bushing removal. Good luck!

sounds like a selecter fork broke or dislodge
