![]() ![]() I'm not driving it like a race car, honestly, but it just shifts so slow because if I force it into gear it seems like I'm grinding the gears.Detailed Compatibility Data For This Part: If the shifting is just "harsher" because of this kit, I can stand that, but it is really slowing my shifting down. That I did not do, I installed the slave cylinder into the car, then bled using a hand vacuum bleeder. I also used genuine VAG gear oil from the dealer, according to the fluid specified in the Bentley manual. Yes I changed the fluid twice, with no difference each time. I realize text isn't the easiest way to convey this, but here goes: I'm in first gear, I take off at a normal speed, I push in the clutch pedal, I pull the shifter out of first which is smooth, move the shifter to 2nd and get it about half way "in" when it feels like I hit "something" that keeps me from finishing the shift for a split second, then the shifter kind of "clunks" finally into second gear proper, and I release the clutch pedal. What is actually clunky, the gear shifts, or the engagement?ĭid you change the fluid when you change the trans?ĭid you bench bleed the slave, or do it in-car?Ĭlick to expand.By engagement, you mean when I start to let off the clutch pedal and the power starts to re-engage from the transmission? If so, then no, it's not the engagement, it's the shifts themselves. no issues oh and 02A box/cables/tower Ok, so that at least rules out the issue of incompatible parts. I have a mkIV 02J pedal, 02A slave, and a VR6 clutch w/lightweight fly. Harsher shifting is one thing, but this almost seems like it's not disengaging power completely and actually grinding the gears.Īll 02A/J slave cylinders are the same, and master cylinders have the same throw. Hmm, it just feels more "harsh" than it should even as a street/track kit, which is why I'm concerned. ![]() This is a Street/Track kit, so shifts are going to be more harsh. Is your shift linkage adjusted properly? I believe so, I've adjusted it multiple times according to the Bentley manual with no real differenceīent clutch fork The clutch fork is the metal "bar" that the throwout bearing rides in, right? I did replace that when I swapped out the transmissionīad trans fluid (no trans fluid?) I have changed the transmission fluid with no difference Sorry for being long thanks for the help. Is there any other part I was supposed to replace? Like maybe I'm supposed to use the slave cylinder from X transmission or Y car, because that's what the flywheel was originally designed for? Like I said above, aside from the clutch kit above everything else is the OEM replacement part for a 2003 Jetta, slave cylinder, master cylinder, everything. It seems like the clutch isn't disengaging power from the engine enough, but just barely as if pushing the clutch pedal another half inch or so would do it, but the clutch pedal is pushed to the floor. I've bled the slave cylinder line half a dozen times.Īt this point I'm pulling my hair out, I've done everything (I feel) correctly. I replaced the throwout bearing when I changed the transmission. I've replaced the (clutch) master cylinder. I've replaced the (clutch) slave cylinder. I've replaced the transmission itself, because I thought the synchroniser rings were bad. I'm curious if I've missed something, I installed the kit from ECS Tuning (linked above), and while I've replaced other parts to do with the clutch, everything else is stock to the car. I know that's not the best description, but I really can't think of anything else to describe it. It gets a lot smoother when the car warms up enough to get the transmission hot too, but it still feels a little "clunky" to shift it. When shifting, it feels very "clunky", and when it's cold in the morning (until the car warms up), shifting actually feels like I'm using a hammer. ![]()
