This is an 87 Jetta.
On the right (passenger) side of the engine attached to the compartment wall, there is this shock looking thing (but smaller) that goes from the wall and looks like it goes down to the rear motor mount.
What is it called?
What's it do?
How do I tell if it's good?
Could it be what's causing the jerking in first and second gear that goes away at higher, 3k or better RPM? If it's bad.
Oh and why can't I find it in the manual?
Thanks in advance Jim
