my 1st to 2nd change is very hard and not vey fluid now and when setting off quickly it crunches. waiting to get the box inspected however, been advised that could be the syncro problem which these boxes have suffered from.

i've read that there was a repair kit available from audi does anyone know if audi still offer this? and whilst the gearbox is out shall i do the clutch it was done some 20k a go and, if i do put a new clutch in shall i go with a standard one or something uprated? probably going to go for a stage two map in future.

the repair kit is still available,it comes with 1st + 2nd gear synchro hub,collar and rings,these are the carbonised molydeum coated rings,this is the only option now as the origional items are no longer available.
