2nd gear catching
I've a 88 mk1 convertible gti .goes into all the gears except it crunches from 1 St to 2nd , can't remember if it's like that from 3 rd down to 2 nd but fine on all others.
Would it be the gear linkage ?

Re: 2nd gear catching
It can be fixed quite cheaply (depending on who you use for the repair) - I can quoted you on it if you wish.

I've ordered a linkage kit with bushes for 5 on eBay ,I'll try that in conjunction with the auto trans fluid .
What's involved if it's the 2 gear synchro wear ?how much does it cost to sort that out ?

is it an easy Job?
I called into a gearbox place today as I was passing.
£200 labour to remove gear box.
Syncro £72.00
Brass ring £60.00
If is the gear it's self £124.00
Plus any sundries etc.
you ain't gonna get much change under £500.00.
