Back on topic any other opinions please

Ahhh crown wheel and pinion, gotcha!!!

Wonder if I can do that with the DK

Earth point is located "under instrument panel near relay panel"

Firstly check there's no empty connectors loose wires or a gunked up terminal.

So 2 pics 2nd one shows the switch in the centre and has codes on the wires coming off that tell you the colour, check this is the same as your switch before going any further

Oops wrong way round

R+P you've lost me too!! I've got a DK which I'm just waiting on parts to rebuild, it just doesn't seem to be the best in 4th, and 1st isnt really a lot of use, although chatting with Aidan it is the best set up for the 4 speed. I just want lower revs in top gear and a A4 or passat or renault would ...

Yes for a t25 before anyone asks!

I would suggest a bad earth or the wiring is plugged in wrong. The earth will be behind the fuse box lots of Brown wires connected to the van. Ensure they are clean and you have a good connection.

Thanks Aiden, thought that would be the case, just hopeful that a series of selections may magically allow it to fall apart!!

I'll have to make a tool to undo the retaining ring

Thanks

Just looking at the box and scratched my head whilst looking at the pics.... Can I remove the pinion shaft assembly from the gear carrier housing without taking off the retaining ring first? It looks like it should come out but I've removed all the circlips and thought it might push through with a l...

Any ideas where I can get hold of Vw tool 381/14 in the uk at a reasonable price? Or does anyone have one I could borrow?

Right back on it, I had the gearbox out, drained oil, magnetic filler had no excessive metal, phew! I did however notice the input shaft was sliding out of the box, uh oh, bell housing off, found shaft circlip in bottom of box, bit surprised as I remember what a bugger it was to get on. So re instal...
