Passat (B5) :: Can't Shift Into Any Gear While Starting - More Resistance In Clutch Pedal
Just went to leave my apartment and I get at the first traffic light and put it into neutral. Light turns green and I try to put it into first and it won't let me... In fact I cannot shift into any gear while the car is started. Put the flashers on and I am stumped. There was also more resistance in the clutch pedal as soon as this happened.
I turned the car off and tried wiggling it into any gear. For some reason while the car is off I can put it into any gear. So I had to put the car in first gear and start it and limp it home. I had to rev the engine to about 2,800 - 3,000 RPMS in order to get the car to bite and take off. Shifting into any other gear while driving was a hassle and it felt like there was a lot of resistance.
Just did some quick Vwvortex recon and some people are saying that it is a broken pressure plate? Pressure plate welds itself to the clutch? Or possibly a throwout bearing? Also what Transmission is in a 2003 Passat 1.8T Engine code AWM.
Ford Transmission :: Shift Into Some Gears Sometimes But Not Without A Lot Of Resistance
I gotta 93 f150 XL it has a 4.9L and a T18 borg Werner trans. I replaced the clutch,throw out bearing, pressure plate and pilot bearing and after reinstalling trans I am unable to go through my gears.
If truck is off I can shift into some gears sometimes but not without a lot of resistance. Also some gears will let me in easy, then fight me as I try to back into neutral.
Truck starts right up but if I start in neutral I can't shift into any gears and get a lot of grinding when I try to put it in gear.
If I start in gear it drives in the gear but I have to force back into neutral. And then I'm stuck in neutral again.
It is a hydraulic clutch and fluid is full and there are no visible leaks. I am 100% sure clutch disc is facing correct way as I triple checked it while installing.
Passat (B6) :: Cannot Shift Into Reverse
So, on Sunday, I'm driving around town, on a nice straight road. All of a sudden, I hear a hiccup or a funny sound from under the engine compartment. I didn't think much about it, but noticed during my next shift, that the shift was not that smooth. Running errands, I keep driving. Getting to a local Kinko's I stop, take care of business and go on, noticing still the notchy shifting.
Next is Target. I stop in, get my crap, come out and need to back up and guess what? No matter what I do, I can not get my 6SP manual Passat to go into reverse. Grinding gears, I finally get a hint of reverse and the car moves out of the spot enough for me to pull out and get out of the lot (where innocent bystanders must be thinking that old line 'grind me a pound' in their head after listening to that).
I get home, pull in the garage and wonder what I might find with the shift cables underhood. Nothing. All looks connected, not bent. Nothing unusual. Then I grab a flashlight. Then I notice it. A pyramid shape piece of plastic is under the shift selector on top to the transmission. What the? After a few minutes, I fish it out and notice it looks like one of those mounts on the bottom of my engine cover that retain it. Oddly it is the plastic boss that has broken off not the rubber grommet. And sure enough, the cover is fitting like sh%t and is missing one plastic foot/pyramid.
The good news is that it shifts again. The bad news is besides the engine cover (a cool $210 through ECS Tuning) is that my oil cap is split in half and is missing the top. I've never done this type of defect before, but knowing I can drive it like this for a few days, I closed the hood and went in and had a beer and told my wife that my Passat's future is starting to look iffy. Mostly that was emotion speaking, but can you believe that?
Where to get a oil-fill cap? Should I just go cold-air instead of a new engine cover (same price for a new Neuspeed cold-air kit)?
Accent LC (2000-05) :: 2004 - Clutch Lost All Resistance / Hard To Get Into Reverse
I'm not very mechanical when it comes to cars. I have never had any clutch issue with my car. I arrived to work yesterday fine. When I started to leave it was incredibly hard to get into reverse and I had to force shifting after I left and the clutch had also lost all resistance and I could easily push it all the way to the ground. What could be a cause of the clutch always working perfect including the last time you drove it, and then 8 hours later you start up and it has done a 180. The fluid level is fine. I would presume if my clutch had went I have have slowly noticed it going.
View 1 RepliesFord Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Truck Is Getting Hung Up And Turning In Reverse With Resistance
I have a question about when my truck is in 4 wheel drive. I've read a lot of posts but couldn't find specific answers to these questions: When I take a left turn theres quite a bit of resistance and a little hopping. Also when turning in reverse its almost like the truck is getting hung up and a with resistance, something doesn't seem right. Could any of this be if only one hub is engaging? Also, when i just manually lock the hubs, I only noticed that the passenger side axle spins when I manually turn the front drive shaft.
Also this is the first time I've used the 4 wheel drive. And I recently replaced front axle u joints, as well as a double cardan joint rebuild, only issue w/ that is that is i forgot to mark the orientation where the front driveshaft bolts onto the the transfer case...so it's either on the right way or a 180 from how it was before, because I could see the original pattern.

Passat (B5) :: 1999 Won't Shift Properly / Only Go Into Drive And Reverse

It works in reverse but I can move the shift lever into 1st or any other gear and it does nothing it wont down shift or the tip wont do anything I am at a loss, I heard it could be the TCM or a pressure selonoid in the tranny...
View 2 RepliesPassat (B6) :: 2006 - Clutch Pedal Have No Resistance?
I have a co-worker that is having trouble with his 06 passat. He explained that the clutch pedal has no resistance and is on the floor. The dealer he took it to is saying he needs a new clutch and pressure plate claiming that the "pedal doesn't have pressure on it is because the clutch discs won't engage" which sounds backwards if you ask me. Anyway, what could this be? Where could we start tracking this down?

View 4 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Clutch Pedal Gave Out And Dropped To The Floor Without Resistance
Last night I was driving home and decided to show off at a light. I punched it pretty hard, but it wasn't anything outrageous.. anyway, as soon as I shifted to second, my clutch pedal gave out and dropped to the floor without resistance. I coasted it to a gas station, luckily.. When I lifted my foot the pedal rose back slowly. I tried pumping the pedal, didn't work. I looked for leaks, but none were found. I turned it off, put it in first and tried starting it, and it turned over and jumped/jerked forward, a lot like it did right when I shifted into second and it went out. So I'm assuming that its not the entire clutch cause it wouldn't have engaged the engine. It's not a leak. pumping it didn't work so it's can't be a pressure issue.. what is going on? is it my master cylinder, or maybe my slave?

Today, without explanation the shift indicator on the dash on my 98 Passat Wagon highlights all gears. When you shift to any gear. . . . the display does not change. Further, shifting is rough from 'park.'
I noticed this problem after looking at all the fuses to see why the radio was not powering up. I have checked fuses. . . . and unplugged the battery and plugged it back in.

View 3 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Cannot Get To Shift Into Reverse Or Drive
Ok first off I am a used car dealer and have sold 20 plus gen IIs and never had to replace the main Hybrid battery pack... until this one! after i replaced it with a used one every thing seemed to be fine, I drove the car for a while the check engine light went off(the reason we knew the battery pack was bad) and after a few miles of driving the red triangle light went off.. yea! I think im done so we put all the carpet and rear seats back in and i get in it to start it and put it on the lot and it will not go into gear or start. all the dash lights come on and will go into neutral when i push the brake but just will not go into drive or neutral.
Here are some things we already tried:
1. put the original battery back in the car- no change
2. put our jump box to the small battery-no change
3. checked the brake lights they are coming on when i push the brake
4. put the scanner on the obdII- no codes
The car is an 06 with 200k miles in very good shape. Could it be in the shifter and not related to the battery change out?
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Hard To Shift Into 1st And Reverse When Car Is Hot
Over the past few weeks, my car (2002 Golf 2.0L) has gotten really hard to shift into 1st and reverse (has crunched once or twice), but only when the car is hot, after driving it for a little while. When this happens, and I try to shift into reverse, the shifter feels really "sticky" and can get kind of stuck in the depressed position near reverse.
I bled the hydraulic system and replaced the slave cylinder, but no dice. I haven't noticed any clutch slipping. Shop wants to replace the whole clutch. Is this the right answer?
Jetta - Volkswagen :: 2011 - Cannot Shift Into 4 / 5 Or Reverse

I don't know much about transmissions. The clutch seems to be working fine as I can shift with ease from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
View 3 RepliesFord - Explorer :: 1993 - Won't Shift Into Reverse?
My brother in law has a 93 explorer which developed a serious transmission leak and had to be towed home. We suspected a blown front seal, which we replaced. We also replaced the transmission filter and pan gasket. When we started it up, it seemed like it was stuck in gear and wanted to move forward no matter what gear it was set to. Even wanted to go in park and neutral. We topped off the fluid, and finally got park to work, but all other gears including reverse want to go forward and it seems as though it is not shifting at all. Could we have forgotten a connection of some sort, of could something internal been damaged when the fluid was lost?
View 6 RepliesFord Excursion :: No Reverse Unless Shift To Drive First
Finished my flush, but now it won't shift to reverse unless i shift all the way to drive first. I thought it might be the hard shifting lever(i think something is up with the linkage), so i shifted to neutral, then reverse, but no success. It's still about 1/4-1/2" overfilled, I jsut ran to the hardware store and it's consistently still not shifting to reverse unless I take it all the way to drive first.
Really hoping I didn't break something in the process... I did do the shifting through the gears while it was flushing out the old coolant, could the valve be stuck due to that?
