Magnet Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Hello Pete, Thanks for being in touch, but you really will need to give us rather more of a description than you have. Can’t help noticing you have a strange description of the this car and it’s year! Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Smith Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Sorry it's an A3 1.8T cabriolet when changing gear not smooth going through the gear changes (gear lever). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Thanks Pete, It’s probably me, but I’m still not sure of the exact nature of your issue from the description you give us. Is the gear lever notchy? If it is, can the lever be moved through the gears smoothly with the engine switched off and the clutch depressed? Are you talking about the lack of smooth acceleration between the gears? Is there any clutch judder, or does the clutch feel any different to what it used to be like? Kind regards, Gareth.

Pete Smith Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hi thanks for your reply it's just the lever notchy between gears Regards Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Thanks Pete, Sorry to keep asking questions, but does the change seem notchy when you you move the lever (with clutch depressed ) with engine off - between changes? This would be useful to point towards a worn/ needing adjustment selector rod mechanism, or an actual clutch issue. Kind regards, Gareth.

Magnet Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hello Pete, Your last post refers to the test with the engine switched off and the clutch depressed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Smith Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Yes correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hello Pete, I would suggest you first need to/get somebody carefully inspect the linkage mechanisms, looking for wear or points which would benefit from some cleaning and lubricating. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
