MK7 R Manual Shift 1-2...is it normal?

......They mentioned also that it is a characteristic of this type of car?!

Gee they're spinning one there - that's crap. I've driven two manual Mk7GTIs - one with the crunchy shift, the other was butter smooth. Good luck with getting it fixed - maybe talk to a different dealer?

My GTI's fine when going from 1-2 fyi.

Dealer's can say anything.....

They are talking specifically about the R, I think the GTI is fine.

Surely the same gearbox in both GTI and R?

After noticing someone with a GTI having the same issue, I thought I'd chime in with my 2c.

If thats the case, what I don't understand is how so many people have the issue and so many don't. If it was a common issue wouldn't there be a recall or some kind of communication.

Does anyone know of any aftermarket part that would solve this?

Something like this maybe? https://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen...ion/ES2862955/

It might, but in my experience a problem such as you describe usually proves to be inside the transmission.

Can you eleborate some more, I would love to go into them with some learned knowledge.
