Re: Gear crunch when shifing into 2nd

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

This is a completely useless answer, really... just sharing my experience.
I had an '83 Scirocco with 350K miles on it once (if I still had it, I could
win the "most miles on a rocco" award, maybe), and the trans crunched going
into 4th... it was the only gear it crunched into. And the trans that used to
be in my '86 did the same thing into second. I think it's just a tranny
problem. When I changed my fluid, it helped.... I have the 4th gear crunchy
transmission in my '86 now, and it doesn't seem to do it anymore. I dunno...
