I had the same problem in my '90 jetta. There is a small white plastic piece shaped like a dog bone that connects the gearbox and transmission and allows them to shift in unison. This piece of plastic is very brittle and breaks quite often. It can be bought from a VW dealership for about 2 dollars, and it snaps onto the top of two ball joints after you remove the broken one. You may want to check the rubber bushing that the main shiftrod runs through that tends to get worn out and makes the shifter slop around and go in the wrong gears. you can do this by jacking the front of the car up and putting jack stands underneath to make sure its properly secured so the car does not fall now slide underneath right before the firewall you will see the main shiftrod running through the bushing and housing try and move the shift rod around if the shift rod slops around inside of the bushing or the bushing is missing replace it. the bushing is orange just so it would make it easy to spot.
