ozalseker

Hi folks

My car`s fifth gear doesnt stay in position.All gears are fine,1-2-3-4 to 5

i feel its in the place but when i take my foot off cluch and touch

accelerator it wont stay where is supposed to.especially when i m driving

over 50m/h.and it is not doing it everytime some time but makes me mad.:mad:

A repair man did cluch bleeding(have no idea what is it for) issue still

persist.Any idea?

gearbox issue... probably a replacement job (or drive in fourth for ever.)

thanks for replies

As i mentioned it above,it s not doing it all time,it works some but then it

doesnt take in even after 3 times trying. you can not stay on motorway

on the fourth gear for 60km , as like my granny:)

You could try rev matching so you can get it into 5th. Had to do that for a couple of weeks in an old car.

I often don't use the clutch shifting up through the gears in the passat, the clutch is alright but specially in 4th and 5th it's so easy to just slot it into gear when changing up and simple enough going down




...edit i realise "i often don't" sounds wrong and is wrong but i've had a few pints

Had the same problem with my own car, it turned out to be the 'gear linkage' to be at fault, I would advise you to get sombody who knows what they are at to have a look at it.

perfectly easy to shift up the box without the clutch, going down takes a bit of practise.

I know I tried it a few times in my old Corolla and found it easy enough once you matched the engine revs and speed.

I just wouldn't do it very often like Conrad
