I have an 82 jetta diesel with 5 speed gearbox. It is having problems getting into 1st gear, seems to be a stuck synchro problem rather than linkage. Linkage is fine with 2 year-old bushings. I used to be able to go thru filler hole on type 1s and unstick syncro with probe and change fliud to Swepco and solve problem. Can something similar be done to the Jetta transaxle?. Any ideas what to do short of a teardown?
