6 speed gearbox faults

[chriso1994]

hi all what are the common faults on the 6 speed gearbox on a tdi fr pd150 thanks

 

[sockpuppet]

Notchy when cold (mostly 2nd gear)
Gear whine on decelleration (usually 3rd or 5th gear)
Bearings can go after 150k -200k miles.

I had that issue along with the whine and the shim mod sorted it.

Clutch slave cylinder fault. Your gearbox has to come off to get to it.

Any brake fluid leaking out of the bellhousing?
