CorradoWannabe 1 Posted December 1, 2004 Ever since i have owned this car (6 months) gearbox crunches sometimes when putting the car in reverse - also just recently i noticed that the gear stick can be easily taken out of gear without pressing the clutch :roll: No problems going in to gear - and it never 'kicks out' of gear - someone has suggested to me that its the clutch cable - wondered what you thought?

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 1, 2004 What car would that be then? No clutch cable on Corrados dude...all are hydraulic. There is no synchromesh on reverse and a lot of VWs crunch when selecting reverse if you hurry the shift. Sounds like you need to overhaul the shifting mechanism and check the cables are aligned properly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoWannabe 1 Posted December 1, 2004 :oops: I knew it was hydraulic cluth really :cry: i'm only a wannabe remember - thats my excuse :| Previously i had had problems with it not coming out of reverse and getting stuck in gear. I've heard Henny talking about a VW tool that lets you adjust the gear linkage [i think] correctly - mentioned this to mymechanic and only got blank looks - as it is its ok - if it gets worse i think i'll have to go get it looked at :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartFZR400 0 Posted December 3, 2004 If you read the manual it says before selecting reverse you MUST leave it in neutral for a few seconds [say 3]. Im assuming to let it slow down and catch up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
