think these are bad try the astra h totally crap box....A have had 3 in my car yes 3 and its just done 15.000!!!!!!!!! a really hate the car had nothing but trouble with it STAY AWAY unless its the 6 speed box there much better but a never know this at the time ;-( It will be up for sale soon hate it...... it will prop blow up the moro because a have said this lol... better not or vauxhall will hear me comeing up the road lol!!!
i have a golf 4 1.6 sr automatic gearbox .... and the reverse (R) doesnt work ... anyone know's why? plz i need help ... i have to know if i need to change or not the entire gearbox ... and i know that is kinda expensive ... soo if i can fix it in anyway ... pm or reply to this
well mine it's not so good... today i couldnt change N to 1st gear, past 5 secs i did :P i thought it was for clutch, i changed it, and it stills doing it sometimes, with 2nd gear happens sometimes, but not so much strong
Yeah, the gearboxes arent so good! Mine have probles at the 3º and 5º gears! The gears dont entry well and the gearbox has clearance! The car has 101.500 Km
i maintained it, replaced gears, and guess what, i have a car with 125km/h top speed!!!, i wasn't to doubt about the gearbox, but i see alot of gearbox issues for golf on the web
I have a mk4 manual 1.6l. The gearbox is a disgrace. Shocking, feels cheap and flimsy, and likely to fall apart any time soon. It has only 130,000kms on it...
Agree with yascumbag. Pre-2000 1.4's and 1.6's gearbox rivets fail, breaking the housing. Disgraceful. Their electrics pre-2000 weren't up to much either. Window clips made of cheap plastic, so the glass falls into the door. Just don't get a mkIV
i agree the gearboxes in the nk4 aernt much cop! i have a 98 mk4 and it has 104k on the clock so far shes been perfect. other than i cant select 1st unless im at a total stand still! and second is becoming stiffer. dropped the oil few weeks back and found nothing nasty.
you can reinforce them to a degree you can send the gearbox to england if its reparable and ask for a uprated gearbox kit or something to that extent and it involves drilling out the rivets that are worthless and replacing them with nuts and bolts!
i wish you would say what year that is! 99,00,01? wb
The person taking the video should probably know that rocking the car like that on the broken gearbox is likely to also be doing the flywheel in.

Yup, Golf Mk4 gearboxes are bad, mine had issues, and many others said the same.
