Hey guys, my car had a hard time going into gear. For example when I was driving and I wanted to change gears either 2nd to 3rd or vice versa it wouldn’t go into gear. I would let of the clutch a bit and it would slip into gear. I took it to a mechanics and they said that it needs a new clutch. Is this right and if it is, is it easy to do a clutch on the car or do I pay a mechanic to do it. It’s £445 to do it and I have already put that money in it getting it running ignoring the cost of the tax mot and insurance. I’m wondering if it easy to do it yourself and if it’s worth it as the car is worth about £400

I'd Say there easy DIY on a Polo as clutch cable and linkage for gears isnt hard to take off and is easy to put on/off. If you're into cars and wanna learn than defo go ahead.

Doing a clutch on a 6N2 isn't too hard, getting the driveshaft nut off and the driveshaft out can be a minor pain.

Before you go that far have you tried adjusting the clutch cable. It could just be that - where is the biting point ?
