Golf IV gearbox problem

I uploaded this hoping I get some advices from people at vwvortex.com .
The problem is ...
When engine runs for 5-10KM and is warmed up, the gearstick moves harder and does not come back to the initial position (in middle).
It only happens when it is warm outside, over 22°C; It runs smooth all winter or when it rains. Seriously :|

EDIT (LATER): I know 95% what caused this .... I unmounted and cleaned and greased most of the gear linkage "hip joints" and it worked nicely for few weeks even in very hot days but after few rains it moved hard again, I am sure that grease washed away while driving in rainy days. The cover under the engine is just partial on this gas engine/model and water gets close to gearbox linkage.

@SimpluA Salut. Citeste pe vwforum.ro , sunt multe detalii si pareri despre motorizari, etc. Al meu era pe benzina, despre diesel in general nu prea stiu nimic :)

Cred ca e foarte frumos de mers in oras cu aceea masina , nu?

[adrianTNT]

@ppeettrruu era superb :)

Cred ca de la pârghile acelea era, care trebuiau curatate si unse, la reprezentanta VW cand am dus-o mi-a zis doar ca "au uns ceva" :) Si dupa ceva timp a facut iara.

Dupa ce am curatat imbaniariile de plastic la parghii si le-am uns nu prea am mai observat probleme.

You're going too far as to keep justifying your biased hate for VW.

Let it go. The part is worn. Just replace it. Period.

[madhatter0110]

@flurry Correlation between other brands is not only possible but has been successfully done. Most Honda owners religiously use their dealer for service--the "Chinese knockoff and ghetto shops" crowd represents a very small minority of Honda owners. Aside from a couple models (pre 1996 Taurus/Sable and Contour/Mystique) Ford transmissions are almost indestructible. The vast majority of Fords I see in junkyards are due to accident or over 200,000 miles. See just as many VW's in junkyards.

[madhatter0110]

@flurry 3rd biggest car maker in the whole world means nothing when it comes to quality. If sheer quantity of cars produced is your measuring stick then GM is better and Toyota is the best. I've owned two manual transmission cars that went over 100,000 miles without ANY need for any form of transmission service. Went over 150K in a 1991 Chevrolet Cavalier before it was retired due to an accident and sold a 1997 Ford Escort with 127K with everything working 100% no clutch no nothing ever done.

@madhatter0110

Impossible to correlate against other brands!

1. Honda owners go for chinese knockoffs and ghetto shops after the warranty expires. So much for "service records".

2. Ford: Check out the junkyards and count how many odious AXO 4-speed auto crappy trannys rusting till kingdom come. Repair costing more than the whole car. Built like a Rock, but put together by Neanderthals.

Correlate that with how many 1J0 VW trans (the one on this video) you see piling beyond repair. Zero!

@madhatter0110

So everybody is better except VW? Then why VW is the 3rd biggest carmaker in the whole world?

You still say that a worn Teflon bearing, made by DuPont using the same recipe for everybody else, was supposed to last forever sliding gears and not wearing out as is was meant to be; and if it doesnt then its because VWs are plain bad and everybody else's not the case.

Please provide proof of ANY make where its gear lever bearing lasted over 8 years and 100,000 miles of driving.

check your linkage where your shift cables connect to the tranny . That and check your gear oil. Could be an issue that your low or the oil meeds to be replaced. Also make sure the shift cable brackets are tight and the rubber grommets are good.
