Hi guys, got a mk5 golf 1.6fsi 80k miles on the clock
recently bought and it pops out of gear. makes a horrible grinding noise when it pops out unless you hold it in when you’re releasing the clutch.
when you’re slowly rolling and put it in gear it won’t pop out and you can feel the gear engage but from a standing in neutral it pops out. no problem with any of the other gears.
checked and adjusted gear linkage and no change. i imagine if it’s a bushing in the shifter 3rd and 5th should go out aswell but they haven’t.
is it a selector fork or synchro? what’s the options? i would love to be put out of my misery if i need a new box frown
