98 Talon Tsi 5speed FWD. Bought the car a long time ago, owner never did anything with the clutch he said. It was perfect when I bought it but over the past year or so it's getting worse.
So first gear will sometimes pop out of gear, and sometimes it's hard to get into reverse or it will grind. Poping it into first, helps get it into reverse. Is this just an old clutch? Or should I be prepared to have my syncros or entire transmission replaced? I'm thinking it's just a clutch but rather be sure. I just hit 140K on it before I put it away to work on.
I was aggressive with it a few times. I have fun with my car and by no means drive it sensibly. I'm a noob with working with manual trans, so sorry if it's a dumb question.
