mk3 gti 8 valve, reverse

mk3 gti 8 valve, reverse keeps jumping out of gear when clutch peddle is fully rleased, any solutions or tricks to solve this ass of a problem?

dont fully release the clutch?

lol ill stick to holding it in gear and my car savagly trying to rip my hand off!

I would say you gear linkage is worn. you can buy repair kits from ebay and gsf.

Do you go that fast in reverse that it tries to rip ya hand off then?

thanks for the advice, no it barely moves then pops out! only done it since i put in the new clutch, it does make a huge bang before vioelently jumping out of reverse, i done it the first time and it was enough to make me not want it to happen in the same way twice! with my hand gently resting on the gear stick then having the stick jump out of reverse and snap my hand back on itself wernt too good!

Id say linkage just needs adjusting abit then, if it was ok before. its prob jsut not quite back in the right place from having the box out to do the clutch.
