02 1.9 Noise going in to 3rd gear - shoey
My passat 1.9 TDI sport 6 speed currently seems to grind when you put it in to 3rd gear. It does not have any to much trouble getting it in to 3rd just a horrible crunch/grind. It doesn't seem to matter if the car is hot or cold and does not do it when stationary. Any one had this problem before??? Could it be the 3rd gear synchro???
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Yes, sounds like failure of the synchro ring, unusual nowadays but can happen.
