If you can put the Fox on a lift, change gears manually at the transaxle, its the linkage causing the problem. The most common problem with shifting is the nylon bushing worn out. After replacement, the shifting mechanism needs adjustment again. Many manuals quote special VW tools in various parts of repair work. Most of these aren't needed by an experienced mechanic.
