Product Description
The MEYLE Deflection Shaft, gearshift mechanism (100 711 0001) is an original-equipment-quality drivetrain linkage component manufactured by MEYLE. Positioned centrally within the engine bay mechanical gear selector network, this part acts as the primary relay crank (often called the selector shaft lever or deflection bracket) that translates the physical front-and-back or side-to-side movements of your cabin gear stick into the actual gear engagement sliders on the transmission casing. Built with a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant metallic shaft and an integrated high-density polymer guidance sphere, this lever eliminates excessive shifter slack and ensures crisp, predictable gate engagement.

Vehicle Compatibility
This deflection shaft configuration is precision-dimensioned exclusively to service the manual rod-linkage transmission systems of classic second-generation Volkswagen Group (VAG) passenger cars:
| Car Model | Compatible Transmission Types | Engine Displacements | Year of Manufacture |
|---|---|---|---|
| VW Golf II (19E, 1G1) | 4-Speed & 5-Speed Manual Gearboxes (020 mechanical rod-linkage transmission families) |
1.3 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 1.8 GTI / 1.6 D / 1.6 TD | 1983 - 1992 |
| VW Jetta II (19E, 1G2, 165) | Standard Manual Transmission Layouts | 1.3 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 1.6 D / 1.6 TD | 1984 - 1991 |
| SEAT Toledo I (1L) | Early manual mechanical setups | 1.6 i / 1.8 i / 1.8 16V / 1.9 D / 1.9 TD | 1991 - 1999 |
⚠️ Linkage System Technical Warning: This deflection lever fits strictly onto classic VAG rod-driven manual shifter configurations (predominantly paired with the 020 gearbox series). It will NOT fit modern hydraulic or cable-operated transmission linkages (such as the 02A, 02J, or 02M gearbox families found on Golf MK3/MK4 variants, VR6 models, or later G60 setups). When doing this overhaul, it is highly recommended to inspect and replace the companion plastic selector rods and guidance bushes to completely eliminate shifter play.
