Dear all,
Together with a relatively experienced mechanic I recently put a new clutch on my MKII 1.8TD. We have exchanged the plate, cover and the clutch slave cylinder. Since then, the gear box shifts hard in 1st and 2nd, but only under very specific conditions:
Basically, the engine has to be cold and the car has to be rolling.
So this leads to the awkward situation that I can easily drive off, but then it's terrible to get it in second gear. After driving for 10 minutes, shifting is again effortless.
I also tried to turn the engine off (while still cold) while driving, and then the problem also exists. Of course I keep the clutch pressed.
Does anyone have a clue what the problem might be?
Best regards,
Bouke
