I would imagine their should be some kind of resistance or the gear stick should have to be lifted or pushed down. At a guess a spring or lever or something is either worn or sticking in the gear stick mechanism.

You can down load some VW manuals from this site. It's a Russian site but alot of the manuals are in English and indicated by (eng)

it will be the gear linkage and you can buy a service kit to replace all the bushes and bearings (bit of a pig of a job though)

Yep agree. They are known for worn gear linkages Think they cost about 120 notes for a full kit. Not to hard to fit just fiddley.

Just had a look at what Mr Haynes has to say!

The adjustment takes the form of three bolts which hold the linkage to the floor.

The reverse detent is mentioned specifically - Good news is that it's adjustable, bad news is that it looks to be inside the 'box!

Can't scan at home but I could scan the appropriate pages of the manual in work if you let me know.
