    Worn tdi shifter tower fix needed

    My A2 have a wobbly worn gear shift tower on original EWQ gearbox so sometimes it's hard to change gear. Is there a newer replacement or rebuild recipe know to fix this? It would be a shame to change whole gearbox just for faulty shifter as rest of it is working fine.

    What's really in your gearbox?
