Hey Everyone,
I’m hoping someone might have some ideas on whats happening with my golf. It is a 2004 Mk4 Generation 1.6L with a 5 speed manual transmission. For the past two days a new noise has developed when shifting gears. I must point out that this issue can be heard even when the car is just parked and not running. When I shift into 1st, 3rd, or 5th there is a relatively high pitched “clinking” noise as it drop into gear. 2nd and 4th do not make a noise. To me it feels like somethings not quite right in the linkage (Bushing etc.) Also, shifting into first can sometimes feel a little difficult, but I am more concerned with this new clink noise that has developed. Any ideas? should I look at replacing the shift linkage bushings or is it best to get it checked out professionally? Thanks for all your help!
