Yes but if it was mounts it would be constant, mine is more of a until the car warms uo properly and then its smooth as butter. Maybe worth mentioning that i feel a lot of vibrations through the clutch around the bjte point so like i kind of know when ifs about to happen. Thanks

I dont know if scott is still here but i have the same issue in my 2015 octavia, resistance in 2nd only when moving which goes unoticed after driving for a while. Have you found what is was? Thanks Altough for me double clutching makes no difference

Is it a hassle gettinf to those cables or should i tske it garage, thanks alasdair

Hopefully theres air in the clutch line and the reason it works better after being driven is because the air expanded from the heat.

The thing is brother, gearshifts improve dramatically once ive been driving for 20-30 minute, so i doubt cables. As for gear oil im not sure as i took it to a vw specialist near me, but it was misbehaving before chsnging gear oil which leads me to believe its not the oil. Im yet to bleed to system, but if that doesnt do anything ill go thw garage route and see if its either the master or slave cylinder. I hopw its not the syncromesh rings cos i might as wrll buy a new box at that point

Thank you guys, i will change brake fluid and bleed the system and come back to this thread. Thanks for the help, hopefully that does it.

Its inside the actual gearbox hence the price..

So, the clutch hasnt been bled, they said they couldnr find nothing wrong with the clutch and they suspect slave cylinder. Got quoted 1.6k along with a clutch change. Is there any reason the changes are smoother after ive been driving a while? And is there anything i can try before i go and spend heaps of money? Thanks.

hello everyone, my name's costin, owner of a mk3 octavia tdi

hello guys, im new here, I've looked through every forum but maybe you guys can help. I have a 2015 mk3 otcavia rs diesel, 80k on clock. Recently, gearchanges have been atrocious. I am having to go up to 2 mph or completely stop to put it in 1st from moving, otherwise it wont go in without force and gears 2-3 are so notchy and often feels like something is blocking the gear going in unless i let it slip in with little pressure. The changes are somewhat better when car is warm, but from cold i am really having to be patient with it. I have changed the oil in the gearbox about 400 miles ago it did nothing. The clutch also feels juddery and grindy somewhat but its not splipping and the bite point is about 3/4 up i'd say. To my surprise when i took it to garage they couldn't find nothing wrong with the clutch. Gearchanges with engine off or running but not moving are smooth as butter. its only once i get rolling it feels like trying to jam a bolt into a nut without screwing it or often feels like it first bumps into something metallic then goes into gear, its horrible. One thing that happened once, the clutch got stuck down for about 1 second then came back up, that's only happened once though hence taking it garage but couldn't find anything. Is my gearbox gone? thanks
