Gear shifting problem. We canged the clutch,

CHECK THE SHIFT LINKAGE. TO RULE OUT INTERNAL TRANS PROBLEM,. REMOVE SHIFT LINKAGE AT TRANS AND SEE IF YOU CAN MOVE SHIFT LEVERS

no its a new clutch cable for this vehicle as its auto adjust cable ,so when new one is fitted do not remove the clamping piece of wire in the middle of the cable till its all fitted

Gearstick,gearstick linkage,or clutch good look I hope this helps (Rate me answer please)

only thing i can think of is 1/2 shaft splines.....jack up car(both wheels)and spin one,the other should move.....sorry if wrong....

i have a 1997 Golf GTI 2.0 liter engine the motor was replace and has 40,000 on it but the body has close to 150,000 on it everytime i shift 1st to 2nd somethings hitting the ground somewhere and secondly the intake maniflold has like a rattle in it or something of that sort and i dont know where its coming from its sounds like a missfire but im not 100% sure yet can someone help me and oo and 4th and 5th gear the clutch makes a biut of grinding noise like not loud and only when your fully in gear and the clutch is all the way out any ideas

I had the same problem when I bought my GTI a few years back. It turned out that the reverse gear was shot which resulted in a new transmission. It kinda sounds like you may be in the same boat.

If you mean the clutch cable its self adjusting I'm afraid.

Hi my mane is Bruno and I have a1996 vw golf III gti, when i press the clutch the 1st gear only goes thriugh if I switch of the car, and sometimes is very hard to manage the gear

try looking at the linkage above gearbox as the white plastic likage clip seperates and pops of

Hi

If the clutch feels ok and isn't biting right at the bottom or right at the top then it sounds like its time for a recon or 2nd hand gearbox to be fitted.

I recently fitted a 2nd gearbox to a seat ibiza GTi which actually has the 2.0 Golf engine fitted to it and it wasn't too bad at all, but it is adviseable to fit a clutch kit whilst the box is off.

Very best regards
