How to take golf gearbox apart - 1994 Volkswagen Jetta

HI THERE HAVE YOU TRIED TO MANUALLY RELEASE ON GEARBOX LINKAGE IF THIS FUNCTION DOES NOT HELP .THERE COULD BE A INTERNAL GEARBOX FAULT WHICH WILL REQUIRE TAKING GEARBOX APART

You need to remove the sump pan off the gearbox but what looks like a drain plug on the sump is actually a gearbox filler level tube. You may also find a drain plug on the torque converter. Remove the sump pan and you will find the filter screwed to the bottom of the valve body The problem you will face is filling the gearbox oil to achieve the correct level a computer is needed to measure gearbox oil temperature. With the gearbox oil at 30 centigrade you need one drip out of the filler level every 10 seconds.

Hi Paul, Most of these gearboxes were almost identical for vw during the those years, some manuals are available free from this site

Hope it will help you out.

No good news on this one I think
Your whining sound problem is the Layshaft bearings in the gearbox are badly worn. It also seems that the baulk rings are damaged on 5th gear.

my experience is new box

Yes but speedo will be out, will labour due to gear ratios being different.

The way to find this out is simple, on the housing of the trans there is a code, a serial number, that will tell you what type of gearbox is required for this model.

If you mean the clutch cable its self adjusting I'm afraid.

Cheers John

First check the oil level in the gearbox. The noise you hear sounds as though the pressure plate of the clutch is faulty. If every time you press the clutch pedel the noise goes away it points to the clutch. If this model has a manual clutch cable adjuster, try and adjust it to see if there is any inprovement.

its can be both modulator valve or signs of a transmission going bad.
