The plastic shift cable holders on 1992 -1999 cable shift VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda cars are one of the weak links in the shift linkage. When they get about 10 years old they tend to get very brittle and develop a hairline crack that makes it harder and harder to get reverse and first gear. Also, the battery is usually mounted directly above this part in the engine bay and if the battery has ever leaked acid onto the cable holder that will greatly hastens the cable holder's demise. Get a new cable holder now before you get locked out of reverse! This factory cable holder purchased from our local VW dealer. The part number on the actual part is 1J0 711 260 but the actual number as per VW is 1J0 711 256.
