I've got a TDI FR and I've always had trouble getting second gear, not very slick. Is this common with this gear box? I'm sure I read somewhere there was a proper procedure for changing gearbox oil not just draining and refilling

I added 80w-120. It felt good the first day. the car vibrated a lot less. now its stiff as hell.

Whats the recommended weight?

You need to get rid of that gearbox oil asap, 75W-80 is recommended

The mechanic arguewed that due to the fact we here live on a Island (Curacao) where it is always hot he added that type of gear oil.

But I am going to get that out this weekend !
