You’ve saved me many pounds in garage costs with these videos. I’ve got a stiff stick, so I’ll be using this video to soften it up again. 😆😆
If you've had a stiff stick for a considerable amount of time you will definitely need it softening up!
I had the same problem one year ago! The mechanic didn t explain it to me but said it wasnt a serious problem and fixed it! With your explanation i understood it!
FANTASTIC content! I reajusted the linkage as explained, worked a treat! Thank you
Fantastic, great job :-)
This is a Great Video Harvey! Thanks very much! Ive been putting up with poor first and first to second gear changes! Works a treat and not too difficult to do either!
Thanks, glad to be of service :-)
Не перестану повторять:ты лучший!
Спасибо, не надо останавливаться. здесь, чтобы помочь :-)
Legend. Third video of yours that has kept our Fabia on the road. 45mins after this, I can find reverse again!!! (And 5th gear) Thank you ❤
Great, you're very welcome :-)
Right, stiff stick softened up and apart from the plastic giggle pin being a tad obstinate, everything works as it should.
All seriousness, video was extremely detailed the walk through helped me really well.
Cheers, Dave
Great, glad to be of service. The pin can be a little tricky to get right sometimes, especially if you don't know the procedure :-)
Nice one HatBoyHarvey - another fabulous DIY video...
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Superclear and calm video! 🙏
You have a great singing voice🙏🙏
:-)
Really good to start the Sunday with those good videoS ...thnx my friend
Nice and sunny 🌞 here for me this morning too :-)
Hi
Thanks for sharing this
Enjoy your videos
Can you do a couple of videos on the 1.4 mpi 8v
I know it's not common in UK
Great explanation!
Very helpful - thanks
I had the same problem for a long time. Gearbox oil change solved it. It feels so much better in every other gear also.
if the box was full of metal filings held in suspension from abuse or oil had leaked out over time then you would probably see an improvement.
Another issue in my Audi:))) thank you!
the church song at the end is for praying the fabia never dies :D... thanks again mate, u got plenty of vids that always help!
Thanks mate, glad you're enjoying the vids ;-)
You always make these jobs look soooooo easy. And we all know that ain't always the case... Some days I struggle to lift the bonnet or to brew a decent cup of tea. 😂🤣 Much appreciated.
Glad you like the videos, You do have to open the bonnet sometimes on these cars from time to time if only to stand and admire the machine with a good brew! :-)

Perfekt video , děkuji

Aunty Gertrude - Fantastic.
Indeed ;-)
Muy buen video, muchas gracias!!!
Eres muy bienvenido :-)
Wou wou, thank you very much! My Fabia 2005 has the same problem! Let me check if i can fix it. Much thx!!!
You're welcome :-)
very nice.
very useful video. i have the same problem, only like during the cold weather.. and while the engine is running. with the engine off, change easily in all gears. I changed the oil in the gearbox and there is no difference
Thanks. You could try bleedin the clutch and see if things improve. The clutch maybe sticking a bit and not releaseing properly. Check the cables as someoneelse tries the stick to see if anything is not right :-)
With gearknob worn balljoint the fixed position adjustment may not work, then just do the micro adjustments under the hood.
Mine is having the opposite issue - it will not come out of gear sometimes until I nudge the biting point in the gear again
Motor şanzıman alt takozu bozulmuşsa motor çok azda olsa yerinden oynar.Bunun sonucu vites kumanda telleri ayarı bozula bilir.Motor takozlarinizada baktırın.
Ти молодець
Дякую :-)
Beautiful content thank you
I changed the gearbox and stirring stick.
But it became a bit harsh when changing the stick from one speed to another.
The speeds have become much better and each speed has its place, but the new stick feels harsh.
is this normal?
If you changed the gearbox oil as well then this could be why as new oil is often thicker, but will get better with age. Or the new setup it just near and tighter than before :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey thanks alot ❤️
Nice job.
I have only one question.
I have new fabia 13 all gear works perfectly except gear 1
Do you think that I have do the same u did on this video?
Thanks.
No harm in doing this to eliminate it, but don't forget the part the clutch plays here too, that has to release the plate from the flywheel. a worn clutch can stick causing the gears not to engage properly. can be the plates or the slave might need bleeding/replacing.
Got 2 manual, one is pretty 20 yrs old TTQ and another is S1 2016 I’m so nervous to bleed the clutch because I have difficulty to loosen the bleed nipple😅, I’m not a mechanic but I did bleed all the brakes last weekend with power bleeder ( Motive) and I wish the new fluid also circulate to clutch system slowly too😂 is it possible?
Yeah sometimes I have a bit issue with shifting to 1st gear and reverse on S1 after stop lights but I guess I need a bit adjustment, I did on TT some but not yet to S1, it seems that I need to learn more to make it easier ! Need 9mm long socket I guess :)
your vid give a clue ! thanks
Yes you can use a power bleeder, I do with great results. If you break the slave, no worries, replacement is cheap and easy on this model (not easy on models with concentric slave) it should improve things, just have to take battery holder out for better access. If you have never bled that slave then it will likely improve by doing so. Check which type of slave for your model :-)
great videos! My mk1 1.2 petrol has been having this problem for quite some time. I've done a process of elimination: reset gear selectors, changed transmission oil, changed slave cylinder, changed master cylinder and i still have this problem. Any ideas? Thanks again for your great videos!
Have you tried turning the engine off, does it free up? If yes then you have clutch drag. Try moving the car backwards a bit to see if it goes in. Is there excessive release bearing noise?
@@HatBoyHarvey yes it does get marginally easier however those two gears are still notchy and hard to place easily. There is a slight whistle from the release bearing yes.
I have this issue with my 1.4 mpi
Its same as there.
Hello, is this also the procedure for an 1.4tdi amf combi version?
Should be the same, but if you have a plastic selector bracket then that tends to wear out or stick. Same process for most VAG box variants though. You will need to take off the airbox :-)
Hi Harvey! all of your videos are very helpful especially for old fabia owners , i have the same problem with my 1.4 mpi but whatever i try not fix it. Finaly after few abjustments only reverse still is hard to fit. A mechanic check it and said that i have to replace all the gear lever system (lever ball etc.) and the cost be a little high. I found that is just a plastic ring at the left of gear lever right next to the ball, that is broken and missed (at 7:50) .I cant find this ring but only full set that is quite expensive. I hope you understand what i mean and be very helpful if you have a source to order it. Greetings from Greece
Just maybe, try to look for at ( Deselgeeks) all about manual shifter on Vag cars , Pretty rare solid little parts , Not OEM /OE but his original, good luck
@@noel5ilv3rlake
thank you Noel ! Home>Shifter Bushings>First Gear Getter thats exactly the problem part , but an order from US make it expensive (price+fedex+taxes etc) 26$ > 75 euro at least.
the photos in page shows the problem in details - very helpful !
@@tarantoular glad at least you have a clue on to repair the getter :) one way or another’s :) good luck

I've got the same issue on my 2.0L 116 pk (hp)
but only with refurse
till now I kept pressing it in gear while letting the clutch come .. it shoots always in but I bet it's not good
also I hear the transmission when shifting while driving... old or not enough tran fluid? or clutch becoming bad?
The noise will probably be the release bearing which means a new clutch, but don't worry they will continue to work for a long time with the noise (no easy fix for that other than replace) also you maybe right with trans fluid so worth a check on the level. I'll do a video on that soon :-)
Love them pink crocks!
That's the wife!
May it works if the 5th shift is not working also???? Or there is another way to solve this problem.... plz help me
This would be the starting point. Do this to make sure it is correctly adjusted then see. If still the same or you feel more play by the stick then you need to examine the parts there for wear and replace. If still no improvement then change oil. If still nothing then the gearbox will need changing or rebuilding :-)
My partners Polo has a slightly different issue, it is really stiff going side to side. For example if you put it into 1st, then pull it out, it will slightly stay on the left side. Any help would be appreciated.
There is a spring under the gear lever that centre's the lever and can come off or break I believe. Never done that myself, but sounds easy to do, just take the centre consume out first to make it easier :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey is that under the gear stick inside the car?
Did you manage to sort it out? I have skoda octavia with the same issue
Where is the 80w90 oil suitable for this gear?

Gear shaft of my 2007 Skoda Fiba 1.4 Diesel makes some noise most of the times when at neutral position but that noise goes away once clutch is pressed down. Only sometimes it doesn’t make that noise. What do you think why is that and is it an easy fix?
This is the clutch release bearing and will need replacing at some stage, but don't worry they can continue functioning noisily for a long time. To replace it the gearbox will need to be removed so a new clutch assembly is done at the same time. Not an easy fix, just something to be aware of for the future.:-)
@@HatBoyHarvey
Thanks for swift response… I think I’ll keep on driving until new clutch replacement then.
Eventually the noise will become so unbearable you will strip it down just to get rid of the noise :-)
I have the same problem almost on mine (ibiza pd130 fr, same car basically) but when I press 2-3 times on the BRAKE pedal is going smooth in any gear, sometimes is going perfect for a week or two, then again 2-3 days i need to pump that brake pedal.... driving me nuts sometimes.......
The input shaft on the gearbox can have play so it sticks in gear. I just had a new gearbox fitted for this problem.
Yes, this is another thing you can look at. access to this is under the left wheel arch. You can get a shim/s to stop this play.
@@VintageLynx my problem is clearly an "air in sistem" problem, when driveshaft has play you can fell it, ai know what you talking about ..
After I finished, the car only drove forwards in reverse. What could be the reason for this?
Dunno, re-think what you did wrong as you've done something not right.
Can you show the electrical problems and how to prevent them?
Most are associated with door electrics, central locking, locks, power windows and control gear which wear naturally over time with use, so older model suffer most until stuff gets renewed. Drivers door is the most used so I would replace that door lock first if you start getting issues. Also replace the brake pedal switch was that also causes early issues. Have a look at: czcams.com/video/x1DJz4_2n-s/video.html and czcams.com/video/n4o0yeVS7EE/video.html
@@HatBoyHarvey Thanks my driver side lock barrel broke last year fixed it with your video and the brake light switch broke this year also replaced it. I bought a clone vag-kkl vag com diagnostic usb cable would recommend harder setup but works:).
@@adinko7 Interesting, what did the diagnostics show? do you have a link?
@@HatBoyHarvey It only showed that I have an intake manifold leak and real time data works on my 2001 1.4mpi. CZcams doesn't let me send my link. Search for "Vag kkl usb com" it is a blue cable with a red led and an obd2 and a usb end. Next to the led it says VAG KKL and on the bottom KKL VAG-COM FOR 409.1 it should come with a driver disc and check the product description for compatibility. Don't buy the fiat one!
