Gearbox problems (jumps out of 4th, and stiff)
« on: 26 July 2010, 23:29 »
Hi all,

My Golf GTi 16v keeps jumping out of 4th, all other gears are stiff to put in and out of gear.

The gearbox was a reconditioned one put in in January this year. So just about 6 months old!

Not too savvy with mechanics so just looking for suggestions on what it could be?

Mine was doing that right before I took it out and replaced it with a new engine and gearbox. When we drained the gearbox oil, there was shards of metal in it  :grin: :grin: might be an idea to check it. Have you got a receipt for the recon?? If so, take it back, it should have a couple years warranty on it

Yeah got the receipt, had a friend-mechanic look at it last night and said the linkage is all out of wack... will get that sorted, hopefully that solves it!

I don't think jumping out of gear is going to be a linkage problem.
