A3 2005 1.6 Sport - 1st - 2nd Gears Won't work Sign In

My car wont go into first or second gear without some force... I tried to pull out in front of a tractor and went from first to second whilst not having the clutch fully down, it made that sound of clanking quite badly and I didnt realise I couldn't select 1st or 2nd until coming to a traffic light... 3rd-6th are fine...

any ideas?

Sounds like you did some real damage inside the gear case. Now you need to get it to a trans shop before it's damaged worse.

Linkage doesn't make noises as the ones you described.

It feels as though the gearstick wont fully go into place..
It does go into the gear but when i make the forward movement it feels like im pushing a stick through thick mud, if that makes sense?

i've heard elsewhere it could be a Damaged selector fork or syncro mesh hub.

Sure it could but until a trans shops opens it up, you aren't going to know.
