Decided to tackle the tranny today to find out what was wrong with the fifth gear. When I saw metal bits in the drain plug I decided to take the tranny out of the car.
Thanks RacerTodd! Would you recommend getting the .658 5th gear from KarmaTDI since I need a new 5th gear anyways? http://www.kermatdi.com/servlet/-strse-178/0.658%2Cw%2Ctransmission%2Cgasket%2CA4%2C.658%2C5th%2CGear%2CConversion%2Cw-fdsh-%2Ctransmission%2CGasket/Detail
Little update on this thread since I haven't post anything in over a year and a half...
Car now sits on air ride with 3sdm 0.06 wheels. It also has a full GLI leather interior, dark cherry tails, votex lip, chrome mirror caps, etc.!
Bought a 2003 TDI 5 speed a few days ago and the 5th gear doesn't work. I can put it in 5th but nothing happens, it's like if the car was still in neutral. Anyone had this issue before and knows what to replace?
Thanks.
I bought the tools to change the timing belt and waterpump on my TDI (brm engine) and willing to rent then now that I won't use them before another 140,000kms. Paid $120 usd from dieselgeek.com + shipping, willing to rent for $40 (with $100 deposit).
