The stick shift won't budge into first gear at all (doesn't matter how hard I press the clutch/even when the car is off, it won't go). When I attempt to put it into 2, all I hear is a wheezing sound and the shift will just pop out...so my only option is to start driving when it's on 3rd.

I wish I knew. I'll ask one of the local vw mechanic shops to see if they do.

Hello! I'm a new owner of a beautiful 2005 Lupo GTI, all the way from Canada...I've had the car for 3 months and it has now decided to crap out, which makes me really upset. It's really hard to find a 6-speed transmission here. Especially for a car that isn't even readily available. If anyone can direct me to a site or someone that is willing to ship one over that would be awesome! Thanks TJ
