I hope you’re having a great day, because you just made my day!
DUDE I HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE A BAD DAY AGAIN! WOW YOU HELPED US OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you !!! My daughter is in DC and had to have her 2012 Passat towed to a repair shop. They were going to charge 1000.00 for the full part and 800 for labor. I started to do some research online for the single part instead of having to buy the whole shifter and came across this video. I ordered the part on AMAZON and had it shipped to repair shop. It was 29.99 for the part. They did charge me 350.00 to put it in but I was stuck as we live in Florida and had to rely on them. Still better than 1800.00!! Thank you so much for making this video.
Thanks for sharing this! Same happened with my 2012 jetta. Such an easy fix instead of getting robbed at the dealer! Greetings from south Fl
This video saved me so much time and money!!! Thank you.
Hey there! I'm so glad I came across the video. VW Jetta 2015 here - EXACT same issue. The VW dealership here in Daytona Beach wanted to charge me $1500 to replace the entire cable! I attempted to explain that it's a little rubber piece that goes in the cable. "No Sir - it's part of the entire cable." I went to bushingfix.com, ordered the part, it arrived 2 days later and I'm back up and running. $24.95 vs. $1500 .... no brainer. Have a great one!
Omggg I have a 2013 Jetta and the same dealer was gonna charge me the same price
So my shifter is feeling really nasty. VW is trying to charge me $2,267.19 for the gear shift mechanism and also to buy the cable. That's without tax and labor. I had a look at that bushing, and sure enough, that bushing is like a hoola hoop! Already ordered! Most likely this is my fix. Thank you so much! You're a cool DAD!
you have no idea how much this video helped me, thank you so much🤍
We fixed the golf!
Quick cheap solutions are the best..👏👏👏
Fantastic!! THANKS!!!! Our dealer wanted $526!!! God bless you and CZcams!!!
Perfect fit on my jetta 2012, i recommend removing battery and battery base its alot easier.
thank you for this video. Just saved me sooooooo much money!
Thank you so much! I was stressing out for 2 days trying to figure out why I couldn't take the key out of the ignition and the car seemed like it was in "Park" but it kept saying "PUT IN PARK"....i was going nuts! I looked in the engine bay and BAM! There is the issue. Thank you!!!
Thanks man you just saved me from paying the full cable of this problem. Thanks and God bless you and yr loved ones.
Thank you so much for this video. Helped me fix my 2012 Golf. I used a dremel tool to file down the flange on the bushing to make it easier to push into the cable. It’s still very tight so it’s not an issue.
You saved me a lot of money. Thank you. Just ordered my bushing
Just used this to fix the 2012 Passat! You saved my bacon on this!
I would HIGHLY recommend undoing the 10mm bolt on that model though, reaching in and round nearly got me a few times, and dropping this piece is a NIGHTMARE.
I would also recommend starting the insertion at the joint of 2 pieces where there is an opening, it makes it a bit less complicated to get it all the way through the eye.
@charlieewing1810 - Woudl you mind sharing how you got access to this part on a your VW Passat? Did you put it on a lift and remove the exhaust, etc? Or is their an easier way? Thanks so much in advance!
@@taylorsimoneaux9126 It was a while back, but I believe you can see straight down to it from over top on a US version. I don't recall if I had to remove the intake or not.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! My 2013 Beetle has exactly the same issue and the rubber insert is completely gone. I will try to buy the kit and DIY fix it first.
Thank you so much just happened to me and this was a life saver
Got the part on order. Thanks! Such a silly thing to wear out and get stuck somewhere
Great Video!!! Thanks 4 sharing!!!
Great video. I had the same problem with my 2014 Jetta SE. He has a store on amazon if you need it the next day.
Thank you for this video. The bushing in my Jetta went out
Great video
Thanks for the video.It helps a lot and why do we need to pay more for a small broken bush like this?
Hi, is cable connector comes bush within ?
you are the best!
holy smoke, vw is charging me 2280 for this, going to get the bushing first
Mermaid hair! Oh, yeah, cool fix, too;)
txs for sharing
Thank youuu!! 🙌🙌
Your dad is an awesome guy!
Thanks!!!!
Engine bay looks very clean for 150k miles.
I literally had the same problem I have a 2013 Jetta I’ve had it for a week and one day my dad was going to the store and my gear shift was stuck exactly the same way as your golf I was so scared my car was broken 😭 luckily I have a mechanic neighbor he found the same problem and I just put the new piece in today
Had this happen on my 2014 jetta with 43k miles on it😒
Two funny!!
