My son has a 1995 TDI with a transmission that is coded ASD.

I suspect that the 'gate' on the gear shift is very small and 3rd gear is always engaged instead of 1st, causing the car to stall. What I want to know is does anyone produce an aftermarket part that enlarge the gate?

However the gate problem is my assessment, if anyone has another explanation/solution it would be gratefully received.
