Take off your belt and threaten it with a good butt-beating. It should go right into reverse, with maybe a little whimpering. Be stern.
ahahahahaha i already tried that
Reverse is torn out. Shifter is out of adjustment. Operator error.
what is the trans model? some Vw trans's don't like to stay in certin gears, eat up syncros and other problems. Call 1-800 VW parts and talk to Eric, there a VW specific junkyard here in NY but ship anywhere. 90% of the VW crowd around the country knows about them. Eric will be able to get the parts/ advice you need to get it working.
check the bushings in the bottom of the shifter & linkage. i had to replace ours in a 85 Jetta we had yrs ago. not an easy thing to do BUT if u have patience u can do it in an afternoon....joe
