When the engine has warmed up the gear lever becomes very stiff in the neutral left to right plane and stops springing back to the middle. Going into gears is fine. Can someone tell me what actualy provides the force to spring the gear lever back to the middle, is there a spring under the lever itself or is it at the gearbox end? is the spring inside or outside the gearbox? I have tried greasing the plastic ball/socket under the lever but this did not help. It appears there are two shfts running to the lever the selector rod and the pushrod,i pressume the selctor actually moved the gears but what does the pushrod do? Is there a way of greasing the shift linkage going into the gearbox without removing it? PS car is B6 2004 1.9TDI Quattro
Thanks a lot in advance
