Yes linkage the same as mk1 golf as is the most of the running gear and engine.
Which model of mk1 do you have? Is it 5 speed or 4 ? Some came with a 4 speed gearbox and have been changed to a 5 speed and maybe the 5 speed linkage not used? Could also be the linkage has not been set up right, there is guide in the Haynes manual with all the measurements etc.
