Hi
Any help appreciated even if you are not sure please offer your thoughts.
I have recently bought a Polo it is a 1.4 CL on an S plate.
I have difficulty engaging 1st gear although can usually get it. Reverse is even harded and it is a real pain.
My first thought is adjusting the linkage between the rods and the selector shaft comming out of the box. Other than that there is a noise from the car with clutch in or out when running but I think that may well be the clutch release bearing. Could the box be gone? If so how hard is it to replace the box. I have done a lot of work on cars but never done a clutch or box before.
As I said don't be shy any help appreciated it is really disheartening to log on day after day and see that the views go up up up but no replies.
Thanks
Justyn
