Gearbox

Post by Butchie »

Now I have had my 2001 GTi for 1,5 week. I have been reading a lot about gearbox problem here on the site and want to ask you all a question; I am having problems getting the first gear in smoothly. It kinda get stuck in the middle. The next time I try it gets smoothly...
Maybe I shouldn´t be so rough putting the first gear in, but on my prior 5 cars this hasn´t been a problem, so... have anyone else had the same problem?

I sometimes (still - after 2 new gearboxes) have problems selecting 1st...

However, if you are getting a squeak when engaging or releasing your clutch as well as trouble getting it into gear, then go and get it checked out - It's most likely your pedal box.

Hope you are enjoying your GTi (apart from the problem listed above!)

Have you made any modifications to it? What colour is it?
