does your “buddy” have any idea what he’s doing? Sounds completely like a linkage issue, maybe you should have someone more experenced with vws take a look at it before you dump it
Joe if you’re interested in a mk3 vr a friend is looking to sell his really clean 97 jetta vr for cheap. It’s from Virginia, pm me for more contact info I don’t think wonchjay checks this site often
I can not believe how fucking stupid people are. Seriously fuck tards it is a $1000 car and you are replying “I’d be interested if I knew what was wrong with the tranny.” or other stupid shit. Worse case it needs a tranny-OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! Jewbags, it is $1000, not $10,000 or $100,000. Fucking stupid people. Some of you people on line are so fucking stupid that when I come to power I am going to implement intelligence level tests before people can breed as some of your mothers must have done drugs the entire 9 months you were in the womb.
$1000 is a great price for a vr that runs good in a clean shell. He explained whats wrong with it. Most people would try to sell the car saying “needs a shift linkage”. Honest sellers seem to always get jumped on all the time. He’s selling the car with a blown tranny.
Now after thread jacking, If you have cash to put on top of your gti check out my 1.8t passat for trade. Thanks and good luck with your sale. Sorry for venting in your thread.

well honestly i assumed the tranny was shot, but i was told by a few people that it might just be the shift linkage. the car is getting checked out wed by a certified volkswagen mechanic. i will write back wed and let yous know whats up with it.
So i saw and drove this car the other day. other then grinding into reverse it shifted ok… but it grinds at even a complete stand still… makes me think the clutch isnt fully engaging.
I really dont think its the transmission, the shifter box looks solid, but the shifter linkage on the transmission looks warn. the car only has 100k and runs so solid, just minor issues and a shock tower replacment and it would be a solid car.
Weld in shock tower
Replace O ring on Power steering pump
rear motor mount (he has just needs to be installed) (could also be causing shifter issues or possibly bent something as the motor moves ALOT.
fix shifter linkage
