Anyone near Fife?
I can't get 2nd or fourth gear, my selector is hitting the 4-2-1 manifold I put on it.

Re: Anyone near Fife?
how much is it obstructing it by? can you get away with a small dent in the manifold?
Re: Anyone near Fife?
if i unclip the linkage i can manually select the gear and its about half an inch off so no to the dent, its the 2nd manifold i have put on, the first one was fine, this one is a nightmair, but tbh it was a new steering rack and had to be built up,Nate wrote:how much is it obstructing it by? can you get away with a small dent in the manifold?

Re: Anyone near Fife?
Mate I'm in no position to help but I would put some pics up. I know there can be issues as some manifold/down pipes are not correct for Scirocco's but maybe for other 8 valve cars.
I'm sure I've read that there can be clearance issues that are often not made clear by sellers.
You might be able to do something with linkage or get the manifold customised. Maybe just sell it on and get another?
