Sticky gear change - sometimes. New clutch?
« on: January 27, 2024, 12:01:20 pm »
Hi guys,

2007 1.6 FSi, that's just gone over 100k. I've started to notice in the past 6 months or so, probably heightened in the recent UK cold weather that some of my gears are a little bit sticky when shifting... they get there eventually, but I'm used to it now. I suspect another drive might struggle with the initial adjustment.

I had an oil change on the gearbox a few years ago but the clutch has never been done. Thoughts? Is it finally new clutch time? I'm proactive when it comes to cars as I've been caught out before with clutches failing when you least need it so if it is that, I want to be ahead of the curve :happy2:

My mech is having a look at it this week but I thought I'd check in with the experts first.

Thanks.
