Hello Everyone,
My daughter's 2000 2 door Golf had a total shifter bushing failure while driving and got stuck in 5th gear at a stoplight which she then coaxed it to the side of the road (the clutch was smoking) and I went and towdolly'd (yes I have a winch on the towdolly) the car back home. Since I have replaced the clutch and starter the car will not crank (it started fine and ran after we got it home) all lights come on -the new starter and all grounds and wiring has been checked. Also, the shifter bushings have been replaced and it will not shift into 3rd and 5th. I have replaced the clutch on my own 2001 Golf tdi and this has me puzzled. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
