Issue with gears on Gold TSI 1.4 - 1612 - MANUAL gearbox.

I have started having and issue with my Golf TSI 1.4, just started about 3 weeks ago.

I was driving for a few hours, so started using ACC (I'd only used this about 4 times before, with no issue) and odd stuff started happening. The car started to think it was in a different gear as it accelerated. So it’d rev really high, but didn’t have any power. I took it our of ACC and all was fine. Then I was using ACC this Friday and started again. When I slowed down to pass through the toll, I’d start accelerating and the dash would tell me I was in 4th, when I was in 6th and start revving high, without the power. Now this has started happening when driving normall.

So, I’m in 3rd, I’ll accelerate, the dash will say I’m in first, then rev really high, but no power. So, I accelerate slower, and it finally cops that I’m in a higher gear and rights it on the dashboard.

No faults are showing on the dash

Any ideas what this might be?

Clutch slipping?

Bring it to an automatic gearbox repair place

Oh sorry, less complicated then. In that case it could just be the clutch.

Find a steepish hill, try pulling away in first, if the revs rise and it's not matched by forward momentum most likely a slipping clutch. You should also smell it quite quickly.
