Strange behaviour
Discussion
I need a bit of help with a couple of issues as I’m trying to determine what’s happening with my Mk2.5.
In no particular order…
Finding first gear and then changing to second has become a bit of a nightmare over the last couple of months as the gears simply don’t seem to be in the right place. I’m finding it quite ‘notchy’ to find first and then go to second. (The clutch was changed 2 weeks ago so it shouldn’t be a clutch issue). As this is a 5 speed gearbox I wouldn’t have thought that this should be a problem as it’s the same gearbox that I have in my Mk1 which has never had any problems like this.
There’s a whirring sound a bit like worn brake pads coming from the rear that sounds somewhat ominous but goes away when I put the clutch in. The sound is only present at 50+ Mph.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
