Hi All,

 

Mk1 2004 Octavia vRS

 

I have an issue with my gearbox which currently will not go in to first all other gears are perfect?

 

I have already tried the following to remedy the issue but still no first?

1. Adjust & re-adjust the linkages multiple times.

2. Changed gear oil.

3. Changed selector tower.

 

Basically the gate feels blocked like on the 6 speed when the rivets sheer & the fork is not connected to the shaft.

 

I have been trying to find an exploded 02J EHA or any 5 speed 02J diagran to see what might of gone wrong before I pull the gearbox out for the 3rd time

1. broke orginal

2. replaced with SMF & 2nd hand box (lasted 6 weeks before the cup bearings shattered holing the bellhousing & jamming the diff.

3. replaced with original box to be mobile.

 

All advice & ideas welcomed,

 

Cheers

Al

A further ferret around that site should show you anything else you need.

 

 

 

Stickymicky That is spot on thank you mate

Boxes are known for their bad syncro's which causes a bad crunch and selection issues... Eventually I will get my gearbox stripped down and replace with stronger parts.
