NUMBER MK3104

Shift Linkage Gauge

(also known as VW tool #3104 or shift gate alignment gauge)

specialty tool designed for aligning and adjusting the manual shift linkage on certain Volkswagen and Audi vehicles equipped with the 020 (and some related) 5-speed manual transmissions. This tool holds the gear shift lever in the precise neutral position at the base, allowing easy and accurate realignment of the shift linkage (shift rod/clamp). This ensures smooth gear engagement after repairs, bushing replacements, or linkage adjustments. The procedure typically involves loosening the shift rod clamp, inserting the tool to lock the shifter, tightening the clamp to spec (often 26 Nm / 19 ft-lb), and then removing the tool.

Primarily for rod-shifted manual transmissions (not cable-shifted models introduced later).VW Golf/Jetta (Mk2: 1985–1992; Mk3 4-cylinder: 1993–early 1999)

VW Rabbit, GTI, Cabrio (select years)

Some EuroVan and other VW/Audi models with 020 transmissions (e.g., Golf/Jetta from 1985 onward).

NUMBER 3268

Ruler For Camshaft Alignment

Number 3268 is a special service tool (also called a cam alignment ruler, corrado ruler, cam alignment plate, or cam lock tool) from Volkswagen VAG group.

This is an OEM equivalent primarily used for precise camshaft alignment and timing during engine assembly, reassembly, or timing belt/chain service on specific VR6 engines.

Purpose: To locate and hold the camshafts in the proper top dead center (TDC) position for accurate valve timing. The tool is placed across the camshafts (typically fitting into slots or flats on the cam lobes/ends) to ensure they are aligned correctly when installing or adjusting the timing components. This prevents timing errors that could cause valve/piston interference or poor engine performance.

Designed for VR6 engines with 2 valves per cylinder (12-valve versions).

Common engine codes include:AAA, AES, AFP, AMY, ABV, AZX, AGZ

These appear in models such as:

VW Golf, Jetta, Corrado

VW Passat

VW Vento

Some Audi and Porsche variants using similar VR6 setups

Not Compatible With: Later VR6 engines like 24-valve versions (e.g., 2.7L or 2.8L 24V) or other engine families — it's specifically for the 12V VR6.

Counter-holder tool for crankshaft pulley (harmonic balancer or damper) to prevent rotating while you loosen or tighten the central retaining bolt.

This is essential during: Removing/installing the crankshaft pulley

Timing belt/chain service, Accessory drive belt replacement,

and other front-end engine work requiring high torque on the crank bolt.

Without a counter-holding tool, the pulley would spin freely, making it nearly impossible to apply the required torque (often 200+ Nm on these engines). Compatibility: some Ford 1.8L, 2.0L, 2.3L,

and some 2.5L 16V Duratec chain-drive engines.

Other common applications include:

Ford Focus (1998–2011)

Fiesta (1995–2012)

Mondeo (1993–2015)

C-MAX/Focus C-MAX (2003–2015)

Galaxy/S-MAX (2006–2015)

Transit (2006+ variants)

This also fits some Volvo models (e.g., S40, V50, C30, S80)

due to shared Ford-Volvo engine platforms.

NUMBER MV7477

Small Engine Valve Tappet Depressor

Tool 7.5 inches long

For pre-loading cam followers when exchanging valve adjusting shims.

Email for more dimensions of this tool.

Small Engine Valve Tappet Depressor (also known as a valve adjusting depressor) is a specialized hand tool designed to press down on the valve lifter (tappet) or cam follower. This is done to create enough space to remove or replace the small metal discs called shims that set the valve clearance.

In many overhead cam (OHC) engines, the gap between the camshaft and the valve is controlled by these shims. Over time, the gap can change, requiring a shim swap to keep the engine running smoothly.

Instead of removing the entire camshaft—which is a time-consuming and complex process—you use this tool to depress the tappet against the valve spring pressure. Once held down, you can safely pluck the old shim out and slide a new one in.

This allows for "on-car" or "in-frame" valve adjustments, saving hours of labor.

Compatibility: While common in automotive applications (like older VW, Audi, and Fiat engines), "small engine" versions are used for high-performance or modern overhead-cam lawnmower, motorcycle, and generator engines.

Some people might think that at this size it's just a toy,or only for kids to play with. They might be surprised to see how helpful this tool can be. This size of pry bar can slip under a fairly large well driven nail and due to its scale can do so with little marks on the material that nail is going through. Once the nail has been lifted a bit, a larger pry bar can be slipped into position and the nail pulled out without little, if any pry marks, The surprising thing is that even though this is small, it can take quite a bit of prying force.
