How to Solve the Difficulty in Engaging First Gear on an Old Jetta?
1 Answers
Fork looseness or severe wear and even deformation. The screws securing the fork are loose, resulting in incomplete gear engagement. Wear on the positioning groove and positioning pin. The surface becomes irregularly stepped, sometimes jamming during gear changes, preventing the positioning pin from sliding out of the groove. Deformation of the shift shaft, making it difficult for the sliding gear to move. In this case, the shift shaft should be repaired or replaced. Incomplete clutch disengagement, or even slipping, causing the gears inside the transmission to continue rotating during gear changes, making shifting difficult. In this case, the clutch should be adjusted.
