Gear Linkage cables?

[youngsyd]

Got an X reg TDI SE, with 133k on the clock, got full SSH, and never missed a beat...until now.

At first i thought it was maybe the clutch, but, the gears seem hard to engage, and the clutch pedal seems to be the right sort of height where the bite point is for it not to be the clutch at fault...

Anyone had problems with the linkage cables seizing, or sticking?

Cheers

that sounds like the clutch to me, if its on its way out it might not be disengaging properly and make the gears hard to find!

Well this is what i thought, but it was like it for 3 days, then it was ok for about 4 weeks, now its started up again, i dont think clutches are that inconsistant though eh?

hmm, this is true, you would expect the clutch to get progressivley worse until suddenly ou find you cant change gear at all.

Yeah thats my thinking too, glad you knew what i was getting at!

I have tries to lube up the cables, but to not much affect, and im thinking a clutch is whats needed the more i look at it now....BOOO!!
