| Re: octavia mk1 gear change problem +1 I have the same problem. With great difficulty included the transfer of 1 and 2. This is a known problem in the engines of 1.4 and 1.6 litres. You must include slurred drive transmissions. Good luck! |

It's not on the service schedule, but when people like ZF Transmissions recommend doing it... |
