Agu gear problems

[mk4melv]

cool thanks jin_c also just a nother stab in the dark would you no if my agu would have a daul mass flywheel or a solid mass ?? sorry to bombard you all just got a lot of problems with the car 

[mk4melv]

Also could there be a possibility that little or no gear box oil could cause the same problems I haven't checked yet but it's on my to do list

[Jin_C]

Unless it has been upgraded it will be a dual mass.

I wouldn't think that the oil would cause the issue however it wouldn't harm changing it considering its age.

What box code you got?

[mk4melv]

well went into vw today to price up some bits and asked the guys in there and they said get a second hand gear box as they seem to think that the sincro mesh has gone even tho they havnt seen the car at all is this lickly to be the case ? they also said the gear box code is ECW cant really see how the gear box has gone as my last golf was on over 200 thou on the original gear box
