I don't know the size, but I do know that VW still uses those balls in =
the cylinder heads as plugs on some of their engines. The part number is =
N0256663 and your local dealer should have one.=20

Ok, VW... you've got the prize for the most part to position to =
assemble the 5sp linkage...
Sorry for the rant...
Anyway, under the floor, the shift linkage of the 5sp gearbox has a =
spring loaded plunger to allow the lever to come way over to the =
driver's side as you select reverse. You must push down to put the =
plunger in a clear path, then it hits the "box" under tbe floor and =
tbere is another tiny hidden spring, goes up the lever in a blind bidden =
hole, and on top of that, there's a tiny ball.
this little ball rides against the plunger, the other spring-loaded =
tbing that keeps you from getting reverse gear when you're wanting
something to go forward. There is a groove around that plunger that =
the
tiny soring loaded ball is supposed to ride in, until you want reverse, =
tben tbe lever pressure against the end of the plunger, levered against =
the "box" wall is supposed to overpower tbat tiny hidden spring and =
allow tbe ball bearing to get pushed out of the groove so tbat other =
plunger can slide over and you get reverse...Then, when you shift out of =
reverse, that tiny spring pushes the ball bearing back into the groove =
in the plunger and set it in place again.
The ball bearing is gone. I found one that looked close, but It's =
too small, and the groove hits it above center, forcing it to not =
work...
Anyway, what size is.tbat retaining ball for the reverse gate on a =
Vanagon 5 sp, if anyone knows.... thanks
