Golf GTi Mk 4

[Denis O]

Looking for a Gti and drove a 150hp Turbo this morning. Seemed lively and smooth power and good handling but the gearbox didn't feel that smooth. I've been driving auto's for the last 20 years so may just be out of the habit but is the gearbox in one of these likely to be a little rough. Seemed worse between 2nd & 3rd.

My gear change between 2nd and 3rd can be a bit sticky on my mk4 golf gti. My OH commented on it - I thought he was just being cack handed but I've now noticed it once or twice myself, doesn't happen often and certainly doesn't make any difference to how much I enjoy driving it!

My Mk4 wasn't looked after by its previous owners though, so it's probably related.
