Hi all, I have a 1.4s manual. Recently I have been quite a stiff 1st gear. It doesn’t seem to want to get into 1st when stationary. It can get into first when moving but it’s still quite hard. There’s no grinding. sometimes it even struggles to get into second. It selects 1st fine when the car is off but when it’s on it doesn’t like it. I’ve read it could be a synchro or worn pinion from people with similar problems, does anything stick out to you guys? I’ve read this: has anyone on here done this before and have any tips or pictures of what they’ve done? im trying to get this done myself before I pop it down to f1 auto and get bankrupted for a gearbox rebuild. Anything would be appreciated, Thanks, Dru!

Right guys. I've made up a spreadsheet within Excel that'll allow you to see the speed output in MPH at a given rev amount in any gear. I'd upload it to this but I honestly haven't a clue how! All I need is the ratios for the GTi 5 speed Box then it'll have both of the GTi boxes on it. I'm also inputting the lower down gear boxes in, so the 1.0,1.4, 1.4Sport, 1.4 tdi, 1.7SDi. If anyone has a copy of the gear and final drive ratios then that would be super if you could send them over! Many thanks! Matt

Hi all, I recently passed my driving test and my first car is a 2001 1L Lupo E, I've had it a little while and it was a bit of a banger when I bought it but I've had a lot of work done to it. So far I've had front wheel bearings replaced, all new tyres, new track rods (think that's what they're called), all wheels have been balanced, tracking has been done and I've had a new timing belt fitted. Anyway in a few weeks I'm planning a road trip with my girlfriend that's about a 3hr drive and its all on the motorway 😐 . I've noticed at about 55mph my car starts to shake pretty bad but it also gets progressively worse as I get faster (never been above 75ish mph) and just wondering if anyone has got any ideas as to what it could be so I can try to get it sorted before the big trip lol?
