Eduardo Dunno,
maybe i should find out what oil has been put into
the gearbox now.

It cost £12.00 a bottle, so i dont know how many litres a gearbox needs, ,
to work out how good the quality is.

Pilgarlick Hi,
The gears dont clash or clunk.
I was looking at the redline oil that was suggested, and might buy some
and
try it.
I will need someone to drain the existing oil, and then replace it with
the
redline.
The new oil was replaced 3 weeks ago..


Maybe they used too heavy oil?

Ok, i will find out.
The weather over here is so cold, and the engine takes a while to warm up in
the morning.
So it sounds like that oil is a very good synthetic oil.

Had the same problem ('89 Golf 020 gbox). I drained about half a liter of
oil and no more problems..
Maybe i had put in too much oil... Some say just add a little auto
transmission fluid to fix it.

Hi,
Just a quick question, about a gearbox.
Why would a gearbox be hard to get into 1st and 2nd gear, when the engine
and gearbox is cold, but within a few miles of a journey, its as smooth as
as silk ?

Thanks :-)

Ok
Did it seem to run a lot smoother after you added the fluid?

I didn't add anything just drained about half a liter. The tip about the atf
fluid was given by a good mechanic but i never tried it.
