Saved this from an old post by Brian:
"Grab a cassette tape, position the stick shift so that the capstan part of
the tape (the wider part with the tape visible) sits between the rod's white
plastic "horn" and the white plastic panel on the left of the tunnel
opening. Position the stick centered in the fore and aft direction. Wedge a
bunch of rags on the passenger side of the stick, so that the tape cassette
is firmly captured against the white panel by the "horn". Now, under the car
you will see a round clamp on the end of the main shift rod, fastened by an
8mm bolt (13mm head) and nut. Loosen the clamp fully, go back to the
interior and jiggle the stick around so that the proper relationship of the
clamp to rod is attained, and then make sure the stick is back to where you
positioned it. Go back and retighten clamp. You should be able to access
each gear properly now. If not, try again, you'll get the hang of it."

Subject: [a2-16v-list] Aligning Shifter
Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2003 22:24:39 -0400
I need to align the shifter handle inside the car due to the fact that
first is half way between reverse and where first should be. Does anyone
have any experiences as the best way to do this?
