ok so ever since i got my a4(98 2.8 Quattro manual)(90 k miles), there's a sproket/griding sound in first gear.

only when u accelerate in first gear, can hear it outside and inside.

all other gears r fine.

it engages fine, doesn't pop out. even if i dump the clutch, it dones't pop out.

maybe low fluid or what could it be?

thankx

 

it could be a worn syncro gear kog but not worth the expense to investigate as long as all other gears perform well just live with it and save money, change the gearbox oil and add some molyslip it works wonders

yeah that sounds like a synchro goin badly, i have the same issue it sounds like.

 

crap. lol money pit. oh well, guess no mods for the next year ;(

thankx man, i'll try molyslip, can i just get it any autoparts store or somewhere specific?
oh and what kinda gear oil should i use?
thankx
