Hello all, for the first time yesterday, my gearbox hiccuped: first I couldn't get 4th from 5th and then later in the day I couldn't get any gear (left it in neutral, came off the clutch and tried again, voila). Both were mid-journey and were the only times I had issues.
I've rattled through the box with the engine off and it's silky smooth.
I've got a 53 plate FSi with 53k on the clock. Given the service record, I doubt that it's ever had the transmission oil changed and after yesterday, I wondered if it's worth doing? Read a previous thread and it seems that people have changed it themselves... this is my first car so I have no servicing experience, is it an easy place to start?
P.S, anybody know what causes gearboxes to do this? I'm not concerned at this stage but I'm gonna keep a watching brief as it were.
Cheers,
Tom.
