Have a CAV with 016 Audi box, recently I have been having issues engaging gears having to double clutch at the lights to engage. There is no real issue whilst running along street and changing.
Have also noticed that on start in neutral a slight movement on the car like viscous fluid drag. Also I seen some issue in neutral where if I try to push the car there is some additional resistance in the power train.
Took off box and inspected clutch, no apparent issues with system.
The box however, it is hard to engage into certain gears and takes some movement of the shafts to complete, once engaged some of the gears the input shaft/output shafts are turning freely, other engagements, the system takes up some play but locks in either direction.
Any ideas what may be going on before I start stripping it? Selector shaft system or syncro/cones???
One thing that has plagued me last year was a period where I had some sealing issues and an oil leak causing some clutch slip and replacement. Possibly attributing to some wear perhaps?
Cheers
