0CK321171H Volkswagen LEVER

This lever, sometimes called a shift lever or linkage component, basically translates what you do with your shift knob – moving it to select a gear – into the actual movement inside the gearbox that makes it happen. It’s a mechanical connection. There are different parts to it, sometimes just a simple rod, sometimes a more complex series of arms and pivots. It needs to be precise in its movement. Think of it as the messenger between you and the gearbox. You tell it what gear you want, and the lever reliably relays that instruction. It’s a critical piece in getting power from the engine to the wheels. It physically moves the selector forks inside the transmission, those forks are what actually slide the gears into engagement. If this lever gets worn or damaged, you’ll notice it. You might have trouble getting into certain gears, it might feel sloppy or loose, or it might even get stuck. It acts like a shield protecting the more delicate internal parts of the gearbox from excessive strain. If it fails completely, you won’t be able to shift gears at all, and that’s obviously a big problem. Ignoring issues with a lever can lead to more serious and expensive repairs down the road, like damage to the gearbox itself. You can often find a replacement easily enough, places like Fixparts Online carry a good range of them, and it’s usually a fairly straightforward repair if you're comfortable working on cars. Worry-free performance: Lever (MPN 0CK321171H) is covered for 12 months!
