2000 jetta tdi manual 5 spd with 485 k -
Cannot get the manual shifter into 5th gear, been like this for over a week. Luckily mostly city driving is needed, but 4th gear sure gets a workout when on the Xpressway.
Twice over the last number of months couldn't get the shifter into 3rd or 4th gear, only into 1st and 2nd, but got all gears back after a few minutes and haven't had an issue until last week when 5th gear went.
The shifter has seemed quite sloppy lately and sometimes have to fight a bit to get it into any gear.
Any opinions on what the issue is.
