Noisey Clutch accelarating in 1st and 2nd gear

I have a 2000, W-reg Golf GTI (115Bhp). I find that recently, when accelarating through first to second gear, the clutch seems to squeek, especially when accelarating hard. Is my clutch slipping and do i need to replace it?

Sounds like its not sticking to the flywheel instantly but skippng a little bit and the squeek could be the clutch plate springs groaning.If the clutch and flywheel have been used hard it could have a heat glaze on it that resists grip Probably need to get flywheel machined when you eventualy change the clutch.

My 2000 Protege is a manual shift. Just recently, when I'm in 1st gear and I let the clutch out, the car awkwardly hops forwardly. I quickly shift into 2nd and that gear is fine. Why is my car doing this...

Sound like first gear is going out on you. It could also be an issue with the clutch. If the car has enough power try to take off in second gear and see if it hopes. If it doesn't there's likely a problem with first. Unless you are a certified auto mechanic, it's probably best to bring it in and have them conferm that it is a problem with the gear and have them take care of it. It might mean replacing the transmission.

I have a vw golf gti. P reg 1996. recently it has

Hi Frank
If as you say....Nothing is happening at all when you turn the key, you appear to have one of two problems. A faulty starter motor--or--- A faulty ignition switch. If you can tap the starter motor while another person keeps the key turned to the start position, and the engine now starts you now know it is a starter problem. When doing this PLEASE MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF GEAR.
If it should start up, or even engage the starter motor while IN GEAR, serious injuries could happen, and I do not mean to your car.
Good luck
John

Gear shifting problem. We canged the clutch,

well if the clutch is fine and your box is fine.. then its most likely your gear linkage.. these are adjustable... the linkages are also very bad for siezing up...

Car was not serviced in time.auto clutch stop adjusting in drive

Hello and welcome to FixYa. My friend you have either worn synchromesh or a worn clutch. Try double declutching a double declutch from 1st to 2nd 1st gear. clutch in. into neutral. let clutch out.press clutch back in again. into second gear. clutch out again.. If that helps things then it's the synchromesh which is a costly fix if double declutch makes no difference your clutch is on the way out. I Hope this helps you with this .Please Rate Me. Much success and good luck with this . And remember you can always ask me. wutxtye0rjd9d9ekmodqt1eoxkvn9hr9qjz1l3dabggyud7sdgr36czsrfxqenadhnijx9nfayi+sz1sug0aaaaasuvork5cyii=

Problems with gear box

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

Geordie
