Hi guys,
A good friend of mine has a mid nintees VW Van with the Audi 5 cyl and a manual transmission.
The van runs great, and the transmission shifts fine usually, although third gear has been giving him the odd issue.
Under a normal upshift into third it shifts fine....with a very slight crunch if he's hustling it, the issue is on the downshift.
When downshifting from 4th it will sometimes balk, or make a nasty crunch sound as if it was a bad synchro.
We both feel like a synchro issue is usually on the upshift.
Does anyone have this problem, or any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ryan
