Pig Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 App. my syncronisation has gone. When the car is idleing if it try to push it in 1st 2nd etc it wont go but if i try to push it in to 3rd (with out the clutch down btw) it grinds away! Great. I have heard i may need a new gear box? getting really fed up of these car bills cause it going to mean i cant pay any other bills soon! Oh and my power steering is fucking up too! Wouldnt work today then worked then didnt! Grrrr. Oh and all this is on my vw polo! 02 reg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 you mean the synchromesh has gone? Doesn't that usually apply to each gear on it's own, i.e. synchromesh gone for 2nd gear is common, are you saying all of yours have gone at once? sure that's not the oil or clutch?

supragold Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 What going on with the clutch? is it gunna be fixed FOC? We'll have to see. It better be. As for better late than never with the RLTC its good practice driving without it over winter. Makes you a better driver. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 No just 3rd gear! you seem to know...tell me more!!!! oh ok, sorry I missunderstood your original post - so your 3rd gear synchro has gone so bad you have trouble getting into 3rd. Well that's cheap on parts, probably large on labour. Depends if the box has to come out to be stripped down and replaced, I don't know as I've never looked into that that. On some cars this can be done without removing the whole gearbox. IMHO it's not a new box time whatever (if it is otherwise ok), this is a few pounds + labour costs. Not the end of the world mate just a PITA! I'd suggest find a local expert with a decent hourly rate and let them replace the synchro. Anyone know the man hours for this job?

Pig Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 nice one. So rough estimate on price?? and should i take it to vw or to mark at phoenix>? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 really couldn't say about price, need an experienced mechanics estimate on the time factor, but since it's a polo => small gearbox, easy to remove I do know that on a different car, a similar job was a few hundred pounds - and that was to replace a cog that had come off a shaft! So hopefully yours won't be too bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 nice one. So rough estimate on price?? and should i take it to vw or to mark at phoenix>? go 1st 2nd 4th third is a waste of time anyway:rlol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
