HEY 08 PEOPLE,

GETTING IN THE CAR YESTERDAY FOR WORK (VRS MK 1), I TRIED TO SELECT REVERSE AND GOT A GRINDING NOISE SIMILAR TO WHEN THE CLUTCH ISN'T ENGAGED PROPERLY. TRIED AGAIN AND TO MY HORROR REVERSE COULDNT BE SELECTED. TRIED FIRST GEAR ALSO AND SAME THING. TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND EVENTUALLY I COULD SELECT WHAT I WANTED. PUT BACK ON THE ENGINE AND NO JOY. MY BETTER HALF RAN UP STAIRS TO GET HER CAR KEYS BY WHICH TIME ALL SEEMED OK ON MY END. DROVE (PHEW! THIS IS LONG WINDED. SORRY!) ON TO WORK AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE; EXCEPT FOR THE EXTREME PARANOIA.

FINISHED WORK AFTER SIX, HOPPED IN THE CAR AND....****; SAME THING.:eek:.

WHEN I GOT HOME ALL GEARS WERE ENGAGING EXCEPT REVERSE.

GOT UP TODAY ON MY DAY OFF AND....NO PROBLEMS.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING SIMILAR OR KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?

IM AT 82K MILES AND TEMP WAS ABOUT 2/3C.

ALSO OIL TEMP GAUGE IS TAKING LONGER TO GET TO MID POINT THAN USUAL:confused:

CHEERS

clutch is fooked.

new complete clutch kit required.
