Hi people in the know, In my mk2 vr when you drive along in 1st gear its fine aslong as you stay at the same pace but if you take your foot of the pedal or accelerate you get this clicking noise it only does it in 1st gear, any ideas?

I am begining to think it has spat a tooth off.

Did you sort it out and find out the problem?

I'm telling ya. It's when the hampster rolls over the top in its' wheel

Is the sound regular or relative to speed and or acceleration, does it get worse when steering?????

[briggs-e 0]

Yea it gets slower or faster depending on how fast you go.

As soon as you go upto second gear the noise goes away.

Any ideas?

Sync?

Hi, I had mine looked at by several garages all with different opinions and costs. In the end a garage called s&s in Northampton where i live on the weedon rd sorted it. A guy that works there is into his vr6's. The first gear has a special coat to strengthen the metal as teh cog is small. This is prone to wear away especially if driven hard in first. Mine had lost 3 teeth and I was very lucky the gera box didnt go. Unlucky to buy a car that was like it though as had only had it a couple of weeks but live and learn. Cost me £850 to get cog replaced, new clutch and recondition the gear box. A lot but not bad compared to other quotes i had.

Hope that helps.

Andy.
