Engine & Gearbox / Re: 1988 Golf 1.8 auto - doesn't go into third gear

Hi, I sold the car on in the end. Was going to swap the PAS into my other one but didn't bother - kept it pure! Thanks

Any suggestions about how to deal with this - I'm not skilled enough to work on a gearbox myself.
If it's not possible to fix, what about a replacement?
Thanks for any help.

Not sure how easy this looks to get at - when it's stone cold it chugs badly for the first minute or so then is fine. I have to hold the revs up or left foot brake until it smooths out.
I can live with it but thanks for any help.

My engine oil dipstick seems to be missing its socket - previous owner had somehow rigged one up with insulating tape - do I need to do anything about it? Thanks for any help.
