Looking for a bit of help on this one.... My car's got 66k on now. 2008 PD170 TDI with an 02Q 6 speed box. It's had a Neuspeed short shifter on it since 24k. I got an LSD and single mass flywheel / uprated clutch fitted back in March - I guess 5k ago? The guy apparently strengthened the shifter forks at the same time.
In the last week or so I've had a lot of trouble engaging and disengaging reverse, maybe 50% of the time and occasionally also 1st. At times I really didn't think I'd get it into or out of gear. There's never any grinding of gears noises so I don't think it's the clutch not fully disengaging. I've just whipped the air box off and had a look at the gearbox end and both side to side and front to back mechs seem to move smoothly by hand and I can't see anything amiss.
Oh one thing - a couple of weeks ago I went from coilovers to air so have at times had the car way lower than before - I can't think of anything myself but is there any way the extra drop could have affected the gear selection? I haven't got a notch so the rhs half shaft has had the chassis sitting on it when aired out.
