I've got an 02 jetta with a grinding problem that just started. Grinds 1st to 2nd when shifting and occasionally when going into 3rd (3rd is mostly when downshifting). I've adjusted the shifting cables per the dieselgeek tutorial and that didn't help...may have made the 2nd gear grinding worse.
Car has 238,000 miles with I believe the original clutch and transmission. Fluid was changed with VW fluid at 200,000 miles.
I'm fearing the clutch and synchros are at the end of their life. What are my options? Rebuild, 6 speed, new clutch etc.? What would you do if it was yours?
