Hopefully just the alt.

Got jumped by a friend and then went to drive it and when i release the clutch and hit the gas it just died. It clicked and shit. Battery is charging right meow.

[tyler]

Since i have gotten the jetta i have put new oil sending units i, replaced the junky wipers, got the bumper attached properly. The only thing that i really hate about it is the shift boot and rod chopped.






The headliner

[JK9K]

Oh God, a toile headliner?! HA!

And that shift rod looks like fuck.

[tyler]

It sucks because you rally have to be careful when you shift or the knob will fly off.

[lowmark2jedi]

just stuff the boot up into the knob thats what i used to do the headliner is FTW

[tyler]

That is what i do but sometimes it fly's off. I plan to get the rod threaded and get a threaded shift knob.

[idealsociety]

just weld a T handle to the top of it. a good 1.5" thick round steel bar right across the top about 3-4 inches wide'll do it. maybe even grind some finger holds into it and use a scratch awl to write "B&M" onto the top.

Sorry, my childhood redneck tends to peek out of the dark deep corner i stuffed it into at night.

[Stumanbmx]

Hahaha. Great advice! Scratching in B&M is a must.

that shifter is lovely.

if you got your hands on a new shifter, you can change it without pulling the exhaust. just take the nuts off of the base and use a hammer from the underside (providing the exhaust isn't directly in the way) to pop it up into the car.

[tyler]

It might need the linkage re-done to. It takes some effort/force to put it in first gear.

[hamradio]

nah, I'm talking about if you would like to change the rod/lever out for one that hasn't been hacked apart.

[tyler]

O i know i was just saying it also needs that also on top of that. I do have a mk1 shift rod but i dont think i could see how that would work.

[hamradio]

nope, won't fit.

[tyler]

Didnt think so.
