Hey ya'll, question for those of you with mqb mk7 transmission experience.
I have a 2015 GTI SE 6spd w/ ~100,000 miles on the clock. I got an ecu tune (EQ stage 1, on cobb v3) about 15000 miles ago, and it's definitely time to upgrade the clutch.
I have a second issue, possibly related, possibly not, where during a hard run through the gearbox merge in Morrison, CO I was unable to shift into second gear, it felt fine in the gearbox but when i let the clutch out the transmission never engaged second gear.
Fast forward ~2000 miles and i have lost first gear as well. I upgraded to billet shiftlink arms, and new transmission mount bushings in an attempt to recover 1 and 2, and now when i let the clutch out in either first or second gear i hear a clicking but no torque gets transferred to the wheels. So I'm looking at an overdue stage 2/3 clutch, but my concern is that i damaged a fork or first/second gear synchro.
Is there anyway my overdue clutch job is the culprit for a lack of 1/2 engagement, or do i likely have 2 separate issues?
One Love,
tac0
