hi

i bought a vw polo a few weeks ago

but when i was driving it yesterday

when selecting reverse...and starting to backup...all of a sudden the car would knock itself out of gear resulting in a massive expensive sounding grinding.:(

what would this be?is it expensive and should i get this fixed straight away.

what kind of damage can this do?

thanks in advance
 
hi

thanks for your reply

the polo is 1997

sometimes the car will reverse properly with no problems...im pretty sure its not me
as the car does move off backwards and then kickout of gear,so it cant be me not ingaging reverse properly can it?

*EDIT

All the other gears are perfect
 
^ dont mind it ...when its not grinding that is

i find the clutch really heavy compared to my old 1989 escort :)

but yeah im not a big fan of the gearbox..prefered the ford one
