Steve Q Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Has the gearbox been serviced? How long have you had the car? Do the gears crunch? Has the gear linkage been checked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Harris Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 Hi. Thank you for your reply.No the gearbox has not been serviced. the other gears work ok, but not very smoothly, was wondering if the oil needs ginger, 33,500 miles had the car since 19,000 about four years.

Steve Q Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I'd definitely recommend a gearbox oil change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Harris Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 Thanks Steve. I tried Audi Dealership in Doncaster, they want £99 just to look at it, so rang a gearbox specialist in Sheffield, and they are going to ring back tomorrow with a solution. Let you know the outcome , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
