Hey everyone. I have a vw that I just got and I got it running and let it idle in neutral for about 20 minutes. Now I can't seem to find neutral. On the stick it moves and feels like neutral but I can feel the gears when I push it when it's not running. Is this a throwout bearing??? It was hard to find 1st gear also. Does this appear more than throwout (if that's what it is)????
Thanks

Get under your car and check the bushing that connected the shift rod to the transmission. I bet it's loose.

That was the first thing I replaced. I thought that would do it. It was very loose but still hasn't made a bit of difference that I can tell ????
