Hmmm okay so after more inquiries I need a first gear cog and a cluster gear. I will expect some outrageous price when I ring the dealer tomorrow. What other alternatives are there for sourcing these parts? If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks.

Bloke took it out for a test drive, and I told him what the problem was. Its basically a horrible ticking kinda sound that gets faster as the revs raise. Only ever in first. All other gears are fine. Apparently he couldnt diagnose it 100% but mentioned 1st gear mightve chipped a tooth. Also said that bearings need to be replaced. Does his solution for the problem sound alrite? Seems like a reputable joint.

Your Box is an 02J. It`ll be shockingly expensive to fix. Id just drive it gently in first and it`ll be right for years.

Guys the box in this car is an 02A as it is a "R" chassis 1H golf. The 02J is fitted to the 1J golf which is Mk4. Still a dear wee box to do. Ticking noise could well be that and if you were in there you would do the bearings anyway. Again could be that having it is in only 1 gear. I was with the timing chain remark too at 1 stage but that would happen when stationary.
Drain the oil and have a looksky to see if there is any shiny stuff or bits , that would give you a bit of a clue as to the health of the trans. Hmm if it is i would roll with the Loon and be gentle in 1st

Define shockingly expensive? Most things for the Mk3's are expensive in comparisson to the cost of the car thats for sure, but what sort of $$ would it take to re-build a transmission for a VR?Originally Posted by Golf Loon
