kue786 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hi guys! First post...Anyway I have a 2001 Lupo GTI 6 speed on 106 KHaving an issue with 3rd gear . Basically the car will drive in third gear if I put it in nice and slowly and I think its only once it has rev matched. Otherwise if I try and up shift to 3rd gear normally it just grinds and is having none of it.Sounds to me like the syncro for 3rd? Because I can sit stationary at idle , try put it in 3rd and slowly lift the clutch up it just grinds. Whats the best route to go , I know its hard to find a replacement box so refurb? Anybody in Scotland know a place that can do it ?Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Darren Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yes sounds like 3rd synchro. Part is cheap but time consuming to fit. I'm in Manchester -a bit far from Scotland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Try going from 4th to 3rd, see if that's better than 2nd to 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
