    ok so i didnt put a mark on that shaft when i took it out is there a way where i can put it back in but in its correct place, does it have a mark that comes on the shaft or do we have to make one specifically for it?

    Morning Pj.
    Thank you for all your vids. It has helped me a lot can you give me some advice 2000 1.3 sonic if I shift from 1st to 2nd it grinds but the rest of the gears is fine.
    What can be the cause for that.
    Regards
    And keep up with the good videos

      Hi. You could check on your gear oil level, and also maybe the Gear linkage Bushes are a bit worn..

    Hi Mr Pj's.. I'm a huge fan of your videos as I own a mk1. I've used your videos for troubleshooting and fixing my car and it has saved me lot of money and stress. My only problem is gear no 1 and reverse there's nothing separating the two, of which it makes it hard for me to select gear 1 without having to comfuse it with reverse. Any suggestions or I need a new gearbox?

    • @pjs-golfmk1-diy
      @pjs-golfmk1-diy  Před 2 lety +1

      You need to play around with the shift rod. Loosen the pinch bolt, and make a small adjustment either way, until the Gear selection becomes better... Well that's if all your Bushes are still good.. Worn out Bushes can cause the problem you have.. And also check on the 2 selector Rods, if they securely attached.

    • @pjs-golfmk1-diy
      @pjs-golfmk1-diy  Před 2 lety +1

      Yes if that Bush is totally worn out.. You can experience that and difficulty with gear selection. Chances are your other Bushes are also worn, so replace all of them one time
