Hey,
Thanks in advance for any advice.
I've been having issues with my gear shifting explained below.
(i have a 6 speed mk7 t350 rwd)
- 1st, 2nd and reverse can be quite notchy to get into gear.
- the gear will often stop just before engaging into the gear fully - heading halfway through the movement towards the gear then not heading further.
- if it does the above problem going into 1st, 2nd or reverse, i put it into 3rd or 4th (which are always smooth - 5th and 6th too) and then try the 1st or 2nd and it generally goes in after that movement.
It's been an issue for the last year (since i bought the van) but has not gotten any worse. I would have done something sooner but didn't have the spare cash to spend on getting it checked out.
After reading up a bit i feel it could either be the synchromesh for these gears, though i have also been suggested that it could be the gear cabling as all the gears with issue are on the left hand side of the gear shift movement.
Thanks again in advance for any advice.
Cheers,
James
