Hey guys, In a bit of bother with the gearbox in the golf. 1st and 2nd gear gone, and its tempermental when goin into reverse. Just wonderin has anyone else had a problem like this, what caused it and what sort of money will it cost to fix? Cheers!
Yeah the PD130/150 6 speed box have a weakness where the selector fork pin shears inside the box. I had the same problem and i just got a second hand box cheap at the time. I think the parts come to around 100 euro but then you have to pay someone to fix it.

My mechanic brought it to a gearbox building place in offaly. Including mechanics labour it cost 800 euro. A bit on the steep side I'm thinkin!!
