Hi so i just bought a used 2015 manual golf7r and ive been driving it for a few days and im loving it. The other day i let my friend test drive it and he put it from 2nd to 1st instead of 3rd twice and the engine jumped to almost 8k revs. Nothing happened after that but later when i drove it i noticed going from 2nd-3rd the gear shift is a little bit different changing it into that gear. even 1st gear is a little more clunky going from 1st-2nd. Did he screw something up with the tranny or clutch? the engine seems fine and doesnt sound any different. Thanks!

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Over-reved engine

Not that i want to pour petrol on the fire....but if you have a warranty with the dealership, a code will be logged for the over rev condition, and they may deny any clutch / gearbox warranty.
The engine will be fine and easily cope with a brief 8K rev's condition (assuming this wasn't done on a cold engine)

This of course is really just speculation, to diagnose this issue would require physical inspection.
