Every so often when I put my car into first gear, it ginds, what would cause this? Do I need to change my transmission fluid? Clutch?

Re: First Gear Grind
I say clutch. I've seen that alot. Your dual mass flywheel and clutch have seen better days..Like Type 2's? Visit my blog!

Re: First Gear Grind
It happens when I'm at a full stop, like when a light turnes green. Whenever you put your car into gear, there is the uasial resistance. Sometimes there is the resistance and it engauges smooth as uasial, othertimes there in no resistance and it goes in with a bit of a grind, always first gear, never reverse.Originally posted by StonewallComment
