Good Evening Eric
In my manual Audi, I’m experiencing that the shifter is binding a bit as I’m changing gears. Sometimes I just fail completely to put it in gear and the grinding noise happens. I’ve checked the gear linkage/mechanism from the shifter to the transmission and it looks fine (nice and stiff).
So if the shifter is being stubborn, could there be a problem with the selector mechanism inside the transmission or could it be that the clutch is bad (If the gear linkage mechanism is fine that is)?I guess this stuff happens to pretty much all old manual vehicles. Mine is a 98 model that has around 110k miles on it.
Anyway it makes quick acceleration much more difficult than it would if it was pristine.
Your thoughts?Many thanks!

Hello Eric!
Do you plan on installing any kind of noise cancelling system in your shop?
I feel sorry for your ears when you use the impact gun or a hammer/air-hammer without wearing any ear plugs.
Despite the fact that you should still wear ear plugs/protection, I think that would do wonders for your shop.I’ve been working at shops myself in the past so I know what it’s like.
Happy New Year!
