Hi im new to vw's and was test driving a vr6 the other day and had a question that maybe one of you can answer..........

when on a slow roll is it me or is it hard to get the car back in first gear from second. I dont really like the idea of letting the engine bog down like that while in second. I dont know if it was me or the car. Thanks

Did it come out of second, and wouldn't go back into first, or wouldn't it come out of second?

I came up to a stop in second and coasted through the stop really slow and wanted to shift in to first out of the stop but it wouldnt let me in first so i had to keep it in second with the clutch in half way. It came out of second but it felt like i almost couldnt find first gear. Usually in any other car going that slow it would go in to gear. wierd :rolleyes:

vw's has an infamous 2nd gear sync problem.. i have a 96 vr6 and i had to put mlt synthetic tranny oil in it to help with the shifting but from what i've heard they tranny's are built like tanks so it's not a big problem anymore *shrug* however i still hear about the old 2nd gear thing, but it hasn't affected me.

is a 98 a cable clutch?
