With your directions I did this to my daughter’s 2015 Golf. The dealer quoted her over $500 to fix this problem. I used my trim tools and 10m socket. Total time was less than 20 minutes at a cost of zero. Thanks very much.

Today, I lifted the rear of the Beetle and rotated one wheel in all gears. When I rotate one wheel, the other turns in the opposite direction at the same speed. However, in neutral and 3rd gear, when I spin one wheel, the other turns much slower. Does this mean that 3rd gear is engaged? If so, how can I disengage 3rd gear without removing the transmission? because i have problem when in neutral and i want to move the car in the garage the engine spins . i shifted gears with no oil in the transmission many times , maybe thats the cause of it
@SyncroMotoring2 ай бұрын
@@sadness3out961 if you have the shifter in neutral but the wheels still attempt to rotate the engine , one of the gears is still selected, going to have to take the nose cone/tailhousing off and look at the selectors

My Beetle’s engine turns when I move the car in the garage, even though it’s in neutral. All gears work, but I have to press the clutch to move it. It’s a project car and not running yet. This problem started recently, about two weeks ago. I swapped in a 1.8T engine and kept the Beetle flywheel. Two years ago, I removed the transmission oil but didn’t refill it, and I’ve been moving the car around the garage without issues until now. Could this problem be due to the lack of oil? Could something have broken because there was no oil? I read on forums that maybe a gear is engaged-how can I check for that? Or do you have an idea of what could be causing this problem?
@SyncroMotoring2 ай бұрын
@@sadness3out961 if you didn’t take apart the trans at all, moving it low speed with no oil shouldn’t be a problem , if there was an issue you’d feel binding in the shifter. Now if you ran the engine for a long time with no oil in the trans , then you could’ve warmed some parts up in there and one of the hubs could’ve friction welded on the shaft . The other thing I’ve heard is if you jam on the shifter too hard you can get the hockey stick stuck under a selector. But In that case you would feel the lack of gear selection in the shifter

@@SyncroMotoring Update: This worked! It was a little bit of a pain, the clip that holds onto both cables kept coming undone just while I was trying to get my socket on the nut, but once I got that reattached and was able to get my socket on well enough, it tightened right down. I wonder what causes the nut to come undone in the first place, but my handbrake has never felt so tight and solid. Thanks for this video!

Looks very similar to POR15. Even the same process… Step 1: Degrease Step 2: Metal Prep/Etch Step 3: Paint Don’t Shake Don’t use directly from the can…pour into another container. Seal the can extremely well. Dries from a chemical reaction rather than evaporation of Volatile Organic Chemicals.

@@gutshotgriz3936 the originators of POR15 sold the company and then created rust seal from what I heard. That’s why it’s so similar and better in some cases. POR15 finish is glossier when dry.
