gear

Hi, I have a Leon Cupra R and having an issue getting it into reverse - it goes into reverse but the gate is extremely stiff. It goes into reverse fine but when you push the gear stick down to get it into reverse you really have to give it a good push to get it over and then a hard pull to...

:( over the last few days i have noticed that the car had no pull for the first 1-2 seconds ish after i change gear, after that it pulls like theres no tomorrow. it wasnt like that when i first got it. it is still reving though. it is kinda like i have still got my foot on the clutch a little...

Hi All, Every so often, maybe couple of times a month I crunch my gears by bringing up the clutch too soon when the gears not fully in, basically just being lazy with my changes when trying to change gear fast! Was just wondering if it's doing any harm at all besides being embarrasing lol...

Hi all I'm having probs with shifting from 1st to second gear. Problem is that once in a blue moon the bloody thing won't let go of first and just holds on. Give it a good yank and then it moves. This doesnt happen that often, but is getting more regular, Plus now putting it into first I've...

I was on the Seat website and I have found a gear knob with the yellow ring on it, trying to find the best price on it. Seat are selling them for £70, but it seems a trifle expensive so was wondering if anyone knew anywhere cheaper for them!

Can anyone tell me how much it would cost to have a gear selector cable fitted to a 130 sport. My bro's car has lost 2nd and 3rd gear. the gearstick moves to what seems to be the correct slot but when he brings the clutch up it's like it's in neutrel. reverse,3rd,4th,5th and 6th seem fine.

Hi Guys Was wondering what kind of revs should i be changing gear to get the most out of my remap 130 fr Ibiza (performance wise)? 1st - 2nd? 2nd -3rd? 3rd - 4th? 4th - fith?

Quick question, I am noticing that my LC has a bit of a problem pulling away in 1st, usually in traffice and/or uphill. It feels like it struggles to bite at times I'm not sure whether its the clutch slipping (no problems in any other gear though) or just a common LC/LCR thingy?

Guys, Just after some info on gearboxes of the mk3 Cupra. I havs done a search and read quite a lot of info. From the looks of it the problems come in when power is high 250bhp+ Normally 3rd sychro(sp) goes first. I had a couple of times yesterday when mine struggled to go into...

Hi all I am a newbie and know as much about cars as my missus does Battlefield 1942. So here goes..... When I select 5th gear it jumps out of Gear, I recently travelled to Scotland and by the time I got back I had to wedge my knee between the seat and gear stick to keep it in gear...

As above, when refitting my DBM I have stripped the threads in the GB casing. There seems like there is a bit of meat and I know that alloy is easy to drill, so can I drill this out and helicoil it? I've been on the helicoil site and for an M10 thread it needs a 13/32" drill bit, which is...
