Unfortunately, the problem is likely on the inside, which will mean pulling the engine out again. However, your clutch cable might just be that far out of adjustment. I hope it's that simple.
By the way, the Super in SuperBeetle has nothing to do with the drivertrain.

Did you check the clutch tube inside the tunnel to make sure its still attatched ? Good luck.

Make sure the idle isn't too high.Too high an idle can cause your problems with grinding. Also check the shift rod bushing under the shifter.Good luck.

i took of my shifter, i have a scat quiek shiter on it, it doesnt have a bushing under the ball join of the shifter, where it connects to the shift rod,it just has a lot of grease!but it worked fine ,then i put in a new clutch and i worked fine till in the same day at night it woulndt shift, but now it shifts, but hard to(new clutch cable,4 weeks old), could it be the transmission????

if it were changing well b4 doin the clutch then it'll be the linkage and clutch cable adjustment that needs checking.
2 check if it is the box get it in 1st and accelerate to 15mph then come off the gas.if it pops outta gear then the box is on its way out. but due to it being ifficult on 1st and 3rd n not 2nd and 4th then i'd say it were the linkage.

how can i fix this problem?> any web site that show how to do it? I realy need the help, thanks to all

might be pressure plate not releasing enough off of the clutch itself, did you put in a new pressure plate when you did the clutch as well? just a thought, had the same problems and symptoms before and that was the culprit. Good luck! p.s. I doubt that it is the transmission, don't give up hope yet, it's usually the simple things!

[ice baller]

the only gear i cant get is 1st, i did put a new clutch but the same pressure plate because the other pressure plate is a KEP clutch and i have a stock 1600dp, should i just put the kep(stage 1)pressure plate on? thanks

Sounds like the shifter needs adjusting now. Try loosening up the shifter and moving it just a hair,tighten down and see if it will go into first.Good luck.
