So heres the propblem, about two or three days ago i had some trouble getting my MK3 Golf into reverse. At first I thought it was the HUMAN factor but now Im not so sure. You have to push the clutch down before you slip it into reverse and thatis all well and good but the car is technically still in 1st. it doesnt do it all the time however, like today i was able to go in reverse 3 times while yeasterday i had to push it out of a parking spot with my girlfriend at the wheel.

help please!

Yeah, i'm hearing a lot about MK3 trannies not going into reverse... hopefully it stops... its kind of a defect. If it goes for good it will need to be rebuilt
