  • 20th GTI Tranny problem

    My buddy just lost 1st and 2nd gear, 2003 20th anniversery GTI...couldn't engage reverse last night...happened in Golden. My Q is, tranny rebuild vs replacement. Its a six speed too.
    Any ideas are appreciated!

    Just talked with him again, he's looking at a new, or upgraded rebuilt...there are a couple on car-parts.com...but just wondering what any experienced guys think.

      Common that the fork inside the transmission breaks that allows for selection of those gears, seen it on vortext a couple times. Also check the shifter linkages at the top of the trans to make sure they haven't broken.

          No worries, I figured as much. If he gets another transmission, I wouldnt mind playing around with that one and trying to fix it.

              Let him know that if he goes with a replacement unit I'd be interested in buying the busted trans.
