Got my car down getting the new 2.5 sti tuned and the car got "stuck" in 4th gear. I was not there when this happened and naturally got a little pissed. The trans was removed and taken to a local VW trans shop who said the gear got sucked back with no real explanation how. They "fixed" the trans saying there is nothing wrong with it, rather it was a fluke thing that occured. I called the shop and asked them not to drive the vehicle, I would commute up there and drive it for them if needed. He called me this morning and I went up there to do the final street tune. Took off just fine in first (which is truely 2nd, but I have the 1st gear gated off), shifted to second... no problem. Went for third and ... no third! Somehow the gear is stuck back in 4th...
Again! this time I was driving it and I was not on it whatsoever... Got any ideas what the heck is wrong here? Thanks in advance... Keith |

A fluke? I would not let them touch anything of mine. Your rods are not tightened. One loosened 13mm bolt on the inside is the cause of this almost definitely.

I trust your opinion like I trust my father's... I knew the guy was a douchebag, must have been the "fluke" comment that tipped me off. Thanks hommie! Wish you lived out west, I would have just brought it to you. tx |
