Hi all

 

My Octavia MKII has recently developed a nasty grinding noise when I shift into 6th.  It doesn't do it if the revs are very low but anything over about 2k and it'll grind on the upshift.  It doesn't seem to happen in any other gears (although it was being a bitch hard shifting into 4th a few days prior when I was accelerating quickly).  The clutch is being fully depressed.

 

Before I get it looked at by someone who knows what they're doing, has anyone else had similar symptoms and if so, what was it?

 

TIA

 

Huskie.

Hi Mike, it's Petrol.  

 

Clutch was my first thought but it's only noticeable when I change into 6th (I'd expect it to be every gear?).  

 

I've seen a few other threads which mention the synchromesh which has me a bit worried as I really don't want to fork out on a gearbox swapout/rebuild!  

I would have thought that if it was the synchromesh, it would have been noticeable over a period of time as it got worse?  This was fine one day, and bad the next.
