0CS311515D Volkswagen GEAR SHAFT

Basically, a gear shaft is a cylindrical bar that holds gears. It's what allows those gears to spin and transmit power. It’s designed to handle a lot of twisting force and needs to be really strong. It's usually made of hardened steel. Sometimes you’ll see multiple gears riding on one shaft, and sometimes it's a simpler setup with just one or two. This part lives inside your gearbox, which is a pretty vital component of your drivetrain. The drivetrain is everything that gets power from the engine to the wheels. The gear shaft is directly involved in changing gears – letting you go from a slow start to cruising speed. It’s a key player in transferring the engine’s rotation into the right amount of power and speed to move your vehicle. If this shaft fails, you'll definitely know. You'll likely hear a really loud clunking or grinding noise coming from underneath the car, especially when you change gears. Sometimes it starts as a subtle vibration that gets worse over time. It acts like a shield protecting the other gear components, and when it goes, everything else is exposed to extra stress. A broken gear shaft will prevent the gearbox from shifting properly, or even leave it locked up completely, leaving you stranded. You can find a replacement pretty easily. Fixparts Online carries a good selection, and getting it sorted quickly will save you a lot of headaches and a potentially expensive gearbox rebuild. Quality assurance: Gear Shaft (MPN 0CS311515D) comes with a 12-month warranty!
