Deeps1975 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Hello. I own an Audi A4 Avant (manual) and I've noticed a problem when changing gear. I've read a few threads on the web but thought I'd ask you guys for some advice before I put it into the garage to be fixed. When the engine is off I can change gear ok. When the engine is running I can get it into first/second with a bit of gentle persuasion and once moving the gear changes feel a bit 'clunky'. Getting it into reverse however is a real pain but it will go in with some 'not so gentle' persuasion. There is no grinding of any of the gears whilst changing. One thing I have noticed is if I only push my clutch in half way I can change gear quite easily. I know it's hard to say exactly what's going but would appreciate some advice as I've recently moved house and don't yet have a garage I can trust and don't want to get ripped off due to my lack of mechanical knowledge.

Deeps1975 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Hello Edward. Yes, had to take it into a garage as the problem got steadily worse. Turned out to be a clutch and flywheel problem and both needed replacing. Not a cheap fix I'm afraid, not sure if I got a good price but cost me about £1200 which included a service.
