Gear Shift Problems

[ajmal81]

 Hi Everyone.

 

I’m new to this forum.  So looking forward ton some advice.  I have Audi A6 2.00 Ltr tdi 2011. 
im have problems shifting into gears and changing gears. I really have to force it into gear when changing gears. Friend of mine told me it needs new clutch.

It needs a proper diagnosis for a garage.

It might be the hydraulics that operate the clutch. At what point in the pedal travel does the clutch start to bite or grip? It should be about half way. If it bites close to the floor you have a problem with either the master or slave cylinder.

I would be inclined to say it sounds like a  hydraulic problem, are you losing brake fluid, does changing gear get easier after driving for 10 minutes. If car left for a few days does it get harder to change then usual.
