Trouble shifting into gear
Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2018 4:27 pm
Hi there, newbie to the site so any help is appreciated. I love the polo so what to keep it going.
It's got a 1997 6n 1.6 with 140,000 on the clock. The problem is its hard to get in to gear, it'll go but it's a 'ram it' to do so. Once in, fine! I can drive forever it won't slip out.
Clutch biting point is midway and the pedal doesn't sink to the floor or anything like that. No noises, smells or leaks that I'm aware of.
Any suggestions, I've only just got the car and the previous buyer didn't mention any of this conveniently. I've no service history to indicate gearbox oil change or anything.
Thank you on advance!
