Is it a manual or an auto

Hi so i just bought a used 2015 manual golf7r and ive been driving it for a few days and im loving it. The other day i let my friend test drive it and he put it from 2nd to 1st instead of 3rd twice and the engine jumped to almost 8k revs. Nothing happened after that but later when i drove it i noticed going from 2nd-3rd the gear shift is a little bit different changing it into that gear. even 1st gear is a little more clunky going from 1st-2nd. Did he screw something up with the tranny or clutch? the engine seems fine and doesnt sound any different. Thanks!

its a manual. I just went for a drive before and the 1st to 2nd even 2nd to 3rd gear changes are so clunky, the car almost studders when i do it. Is there a chance the syncros are ruined? the engine seems normal

Might have stuffed the clutch
To do it once is an accident Twice is stupidity.

Not that i want to pour petrol on the fire....but if you have a warranty with the dealership, a code will be logged for the over rev condition, and they may deny any clutch / gearbox warranty.
The engine will be fine and easily cope with a brief 8K rev's condition (assuming this wasn't done on a cold engine)

Why would it ruin the clutch? He didn’t dump it back into 1st, he just accidentally let it slip back in, he even said he didn’t really force it inOriginally Posted by Hillbilly

Yeah I scanned the car and it came back with a engine code but my vcds is outdated so it didn’t say what it was, but it was around the time we drove so I’m prettt sure that it’s, I cleared the code but I’m guessing you can’t fully erase it?

Well he would wouldnt he It usually fairly hard to get into a lower gear when going faster than it likes to be. Has been in all the cars ive ever done it on for whatever reason.

I knew someone many years ago that managed to slip a Kombi van (aircooler) from 4th into first instead of third and tore the centre out of the clutch. The damage happens not when you select the gear but when you take your foot off the clutch. Clutch could be damaged and/or dual mass flywheel could be damaged.
This of course is really just speculation, to diagnose this issue would require physical inspection.
