Dieselgeek Metal Side to Side Relay Bracket - MQ200 Mk6 Jetta S 2.0L

In 2007, VW started using a plastic relay lever on top of the transmission. Prior to this it was all metal. The old version had a stainless steel pivot pin running in replaceable plastic bushings which never broke. SO, the cars with the black plastic bellcranks are subject to a point of failure that the earlier cars did not have. It gets even worse if you live where they use road salt to keep the roads clear in Winter. The road salt gets inside the tranny's aluminum pivot tube and corrodes the aluminum to the point that the black plastic pivot pin seizes up. You will notice this as a increasing stiffness when you move the shifter stick left to right in neutral. Eventually it gets hard to shift into first and second gear and getting into reverse becomes dang near impossible. Don't wait for this to happen! This corrosion will leave you stranded and then you will have an expensive, time-consuming repair to deal with. The Dieselgeek metal side to side bracket kit is a bulletproof solution running in high performance pivot bushings.  This is a forever fix to the common issue of the stock plastic VW side to side bracket 5K0 711 203 or 5Q0 711 202 either breaking or seizing up into the transmission's aluminum pivot hole.
