Title: Sorry won't post for a month I promise.. :)
Post by: XMC1980 on 04 April 2014, 14:18
I have noticed something over the last few days, I have the AUQ 6 speed mk4 and all gears and clutch is really good the only issue is it feels like it jerks into second gear where as the other gears are silky smooth.
Is there a common fault or does anybody know what it might be
It's not a crunch but more a mindful effort to change it nicely and slowly into second

Thanks in advance and I'll try keep quiet for a while :whistle:

Found a great video but it's a 5 speed box and can't find locking pin for 6 speed box

Doesn't that go in a hole on the gearbox? Like an inspection hole? can be seen from the top?

It is indeed a Knackered looking transmission bung goes at the top of the bell housing it covers the hole for viewing the tdc marks on the flywheel

Thanks! Be getting a new one of those as I can only assume it needs to be there?

No probs,yes ideally it does need one fitted as it stops anything dropping inside the bellhousing too
