tempory fixed

my polo is dead i think its hard to getinto gears and then sometimes goes into gears properly and it wines like fook as well

me dad thinks it may be trust bearing on the way out and where my cars is now so low i have bent the gear linkage by hitting the exshaust on the floor lol so im gonna look into it more tommora and if so do a full clucth kit and sort the zorst out so hopefully its only that

dude bad luck

sounds like it could be the input shaft on the gearbox mate

The shaft going into the gearbox from the clutch - also known as a spigot shaft.
Theve got a oil seal round them, if your having the box off to check the clutch out it will be worth checking it, you will smell it if youve got gearbox oil in the bell housing. Mk4 polos also suffer from the oil seal round the gearlinkage enters the box, worth a look if its lost oil

If you had to put 1.5litre of oil in sounds like some of the bearings have got dry. Is the whine worst in 5th?

Gearboxes are common problems with 6Ns.
