Is your 1999 Vw Jetta Diesel suffering from sloppy or imprecise shifts? If you’re experiencing issues with your manual transmission, especially in models around the late 90s, you might be facing a common problem with the original shifter linkage. Volkswagen no longer manufactures the original metal sliding piece (part numbers 1J0 711 202B or 357 711 203D) which is crucial for smooth gear changes in many of their popular models, including the 1999 VW Jetta Diesel. But don’t worry, keyfobprog.com has engineered a solution to bring back the crisp, reliable shifting your VW deserves.
We understand the frustration of dealing with worn-out or broken shifter components. That’s why we’ve developed a brand new, meticulously crafted sliding piece designed to replace the discontinued factory part. This precision-engineered component is made to exact dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit and restoring the smooth operation of your 02A cable shift transmission. Whether you own a 1999 VW Jetta TDI, a Golf VR6, or a classic Corrado, this part is designed to breathe new life into your gear changes.
This replacement sliding piece is compatible with a wide range of Volkswagen and Audi models from the 1990s. Specifically, it fits all 1993-1999 02A cable shift transmissions, making it ideal for:
- 1993-1995 VW Corrado
- 1993-1997 VW Passat
- 1993-1999 VW Jetta GLX VR6
- 1993-1999 VW Golf, Jetta, and Vento TDI (including your 1999 VW Jetta Diesel)
- 1993-1999 VW Golf and GTI VR6
- 1998-1999 VW New Beetle
- 1997-1999 VW MK4 Golf, GTI and Jetta
- 1996-2003 VW Caddy TDI
- 1997-1998 Audi A3
- 1997-1999 Seat Ibiza TDI
- 1992-1999 Seat Toledo TDI
- 1997-1999 Seat Cordoba TDI
- 1997-2000 Skoda Octavia
Installation is straightforward. Our sliding piece mounts directly onto your existing steel relay lever on top of the transmission using the two brass screws included in the kit. The screws are designed to sit flush, ensuring smooth, unimpeded sliding action. To install, you’ll need to remove the old, likely brittle, black plastic sliding piece from your relay lever. This can be easily done by carefully cutting away the old plastic with wire cutters.
For optimal performance and longevity, we highly recommend pairing this new sliding piece with a fresh 1J0 711 256 plastic cable holder. A worn-out cable holder can diminish the benefits of a new sliding piece. Replacing both components at the same time will ensure your shifter operates like new.
