You should always remove the fill plug first in case it's stuck. You can stop and get help and still have fluid in the case.

Nice video, thanks. On all of my manual transmissions I have filled them by snaking a tube down from the upper part of the engine bay into the fill hole. I plug a funnel into the upper part of the hose and fill until it runs out. No pumping needed!

When shifting into first gear car should be almost complete stop. This is because 02J transmission is pretty old design internally and there is only one synchro ring on first gear. Many newer cars got two synchro rings in first gear so you would shift into first gear smoothly while car is moving.

Hi. Thanks. I didn't know that about the synchros. But, I am always at a dead stop when I go into first. I could just drive it like it is and give it a second before I shift. The slave cylinder is next and then maybe the master. Do you have any other ideas?

My so called mechanic did all the clutch pumping to find out it's the master cylinder 🥺. Brand new clutch and pressure plate kit. Which needed replacement, to find out about this. It was heartbreaking. Enjoy your golf with it's clean service 👌

Pull your top plug out before you do the bottom cause sometimes the top plug won’t come out as easy as the bottom and then you won’t be able to refill the transmission either fluids am then be sol

I usually do refill the box at the breathing hole up at the gear selector mechanism, or i completely remove the tower and fill up about 2-3 litres of oil... The gearbox is much quiter and shifts better, but sadly theese 02A and 02J boxes have weak 1st gear shyncros

bro, which gear grinds? if its 3rd then you will have a bad gearbox mount and bad dogbone mount. what happens is the gearbox swings back and forth changing the gear linkage by about an 8th of an inch in your measurements! this is enough to pull on the cable and make it grind! most people would think its a syncro, as you said you "gave it time" so a second or so and it was buttery. what is happening is this second is enough time for the engine to stop pulling the vehicle forward and correcting its swing position in the bay. as soon as its done it you have a nice gear change! if it was a bad syncro you would have a bad change every time! the fact you state it only happens "when you get on it" and give it some, its the mounts trust from a PD150 euro owner!

Hi! It only ever happened in first gear. After this video a made more where I kept trouble shooting it. kzitem.info/news/bejne/l7BrnGiCh2qIYHo I have not had a grind for a long time now. BUT!!! I bet I could still get it to grind a little if I tried. Now...I'm going to look into mounts. I'm sure it needs them. THANKS!

It helped a little. I did several things for the shifter and together they made the issue almost go away completely. I have not grinded into first for a long time now. Check out my MK4 Golf playlist if you haven't already. There are 4 other shifter videos.
