02Z311562B Volkswagen FORK

This fork’s job is to slide the synchronizer along the splined shaft, engaging or disengaging gears. It physically moves things into position so you can smoothly switch between gears. Think of it like a little lever inside the transmission that’s doing all the work when you move the shift lever in the car. It's responsible for making that positive ‘click’ you feel when you shift. It's a critical component inside the transmission. When you move the gearshift, that movement is transferred through linkage and ultimately to this fork. It pushes the synchronizer, which matches the speed of the gears before they fully engage. Without it, you wouldn’t be able to select different gears and transfer power from the engine to the wheels. It's important because a worn or damaged fork leads to rough shifting, difficulty getting into certain gears, or even complete transmission failure. You’ll notice if a fork is going bad because you might struggle to get into gear, hear grinding noises when shifting, or experience a lot of vibration. It acts like a shield protecting the delicate gears inside, so when it fails, things get damaged quickly. Sometimes you can find a replacement pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online carry these, but it’s always best to get it checked out by a professional if you suspect a problem. A small issue with a fork can quickly turn into a really expensive transmission repair if you don't address it. Your trust matters: Fork (MPN 02Z311562B) comes with a 12-month warranty!
