Haynes manual lists it, hard to explain without pictures, but basically, u need to get the clamp on the selector, then put the gearstick into reverse, then i can put a pin horizontally through the linkage (from underneath the gear stick), you then select reverse on the box by using a screwdriver or allen key, rotated fully clockwise and then pushing in, tighten the nut, unloick the gearsticxk and thats mena be it (mine took a while ) especially as the linkages are always worn
This make any sense to you?

once you see the pretty pictures it all makes sense
There are other methods that people use like getting someone else to hold the gearstick in 4th position and then selecting 4th on the box and tightening it up, however as MK3's (Series 1's) have a push down gate for reverse i found this method hard, works ok for MK4's as they have the reverse gate in the box.
Try the haynes way it got mine set up (eventually )
