02J Gearbox Shift Lever: What is it for?

Hi,

The EBF (which should be a 02J) in the Leon has a lever located near the gear stick.

What is this for?

Hi Martin,

AFAIK, this allows you to fix the position of the shifting lever (by aligning a hole in the lever with the end of the shaft, allowing the lever to be inserted), which can be used to adjust the shifting mechanism.
Release the cables, secure the gear stick with a special tool, and then reattach the cables.
Pull the lever on the gearbox, release the gear stick, and you're done (or how do you say it in the Palatinate

)?
