- Our 82 Jetta 5speed is now refusing to shift into 1st gear.
- I changed the tranny oil to a synthetic, sprayed the linkage inside and
- under the car with white grease, but it was still intermittent.
- WHen it refused to go in, if I forced it to, it would go in.
- Now, it won't go at all. My guess is the bushings for 1st are shot.
-
- I remember not too long ago someone posted their experience with this
- same problem. Could anyone who saved it sent it to me? I promise
- I'll stick it in the archives... :-)
