gears

[bamf]

hi my gears on my gti 16v r sloppy and hard sometime to get in gear what can it be

[Khare]

gear linkage, gear alignment, gear oil.

Go to GSF, buy a gear linkage repair kit, fit it.
Go to ebay, and buy gear linkage repair tool (about £2), align the gears.
Go to any motors factory and buy some gear oil for VW golf, top it up.

that should leave your gears nice and smooth and direct again.

02A Gearbox on the 16v.

I don't think the MK2 linkage kit will be of use. They are for rod change gearboxs, and you have a cable change box.
