Gear Box ... Crunch in 3rd under heavy acceleration what is it??!


Recommended Posts

When i drive the golf hard, only sort of 4 out of 10 tims, the 3rd gear shift crunches when being changed. its fine always wen going slow, and i dnt know wether this makes a difference but my clutch is starting to get a rather high bite point.

Any ideas of what or how to fix and roughly how much??

I had this problem with my old box, which finally gave up ( got a recon one with 2 year / 24000 mile warranty, fully fitted inc collection of my car, for £550)

Every now and then, with the new 'box, when under heavy acceleration I go for third and miss it, especially after driving my dads MK2 GTI. This is because the throw on the VR's is so much longer than in the GTI.

Are you sure some of the problem is not down to human error, ie missing the gear when changing it quickly?
