It sure does, until you drive the car. I can't count how many times ****ed up the sync rings by grinding them since i couldnt get into gear properly because something was standing in the way that made me think i had put the gear in. Even my golf mk3 1.8 engine with ****ty mk2 style shifter didn't had this problem, and it was sloppy and dense. gonna throw out the gearbox soon. Also, i have a feeling that the weight doesn't do ****, it doesn't help me to get into gear, i have to push it all the way. Maybe i should cut it off and see what happens. I appreciate all the answers so far!
Removing the weight will make it feel worse. Maybe the box caused the 02a shifter to break up due to the extra force need to shift.
That doesn't sound too good I have another thing to say is: It's one thing if the engine is on and another if it's off. When i drive or stand still with engine on and push down clutch and try to put in gear, something blocks the way before i can get into gear! i can't shift directly into gear As soon as i get into gear and back to neutral then its no issue to get back there again (as long i don't shift to another gear). Maybe you think it sounds like baulk ring problem but if i double clutch it feels the same + there's no grinding when i shift (if i shift right). If i release the clutch at the point where something "blocks me from getting into gear" then i hear grinding. I hope i was clear enough!
do you think the clutch may no be fully dis engaged? mine was hard work to get bled to a good standard ...until i reverse bled it
I agree that from the videos that looks normal to me! It sounds like clutch when you dont press it down enough and there is a "block" that you cant shift into a gear.
Yea, it sure sounds like that, i wish it was that simple. I did bleed the clutch this way, but no difference [video=youtube;wdf--suwqw0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdf--suwqw0[/video]
I changed the slave cylinder yesterday, but it didn't make any difference! Can it be that the pressure plate is ****ed or clutch operating lever/release fork? seems like i'm the only one with the problem. Also, i hear squeaking sound in the engine bay when i push down the clutch slowly (engine is off), maybe its normal.
sounds like the clutch to ...or still not bled when did this start ? any history on the clutch etc mine squeaks a bit with the pedal if you listen carefully...its always done it
Well, i don't see any bubbles coming out of the hose from the clutch master cylinder after a while The history is that i bought a mk3 16v in the end of 2010, didn't drive it too often since i was going to use it as a donator. 2012 i mounted the engine and gearbox in the mk2, changed the oil to redline mt90. When the car was ready to drive i noticed this problem. Now a year later, still same problem
Today i changed the master cylinder for the clutch since some people said it could be the problem BUT it didn't make any difference as usual...FML Here's the video of shifting when the engine is on and i press down the clutch [video=youtube;5pH6iZJSyck]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pH6iZJSyck&list=UU-z4Ml_a7pKCFdM9kJcFzOQ&index=1[/video]
Holy thread resurrection ... was there an outcome? I seem to have a similar issue but my car is still up in the air on ramps at the mo so can't run it up the road.
Jesus, this was long time ago haha. This was my old 02A gearbox. I switched to 02J in 2014 because I got tired of it, it was alot easier to shift afterwards, I think the 02A box was fooked. I would recommend you to do the same if you haven't bleed the clutch or changed the master/slave cylinders if they're fooked. Maybe change the oil and check the cables to the shifter (if they're smooth).
