I am not pleased with VW's shifter and or linkage on the 2013 Jetta Sportswagen TDI Manual transmission. Has anyone else out there had problems or disappointed with the shifting of the manual transmission? I have talked to my dealer but they say there is nothing wrong, but it keeps hanging up and getting stuck around 3rd gear shifting up or down. I have heard of an after market shifter bellcrank that improves it, anyone installed one of these?

Being in the market for a JSW with a standard transmission I've test driven quite a few and noticed that some shift easily and positively, and others seem to go into the wrong gears. That is, shifting up some tend to go from 2nd to 5th instead of 2nd to 3rd, and downshifting is the same. I think it must be how the shift linkage is adjusted. If it were me I would continue to press the dealer to adjust the linkage.
