Clutch free play needs adjusting. On a vw clutch you muct be sure the system is bled, if it has been successfully bled then you must adjust the shift linkages.
If it does this in all gears, I bet your clutch is shot. Other things that could cause problems are the Clutch master cylinder or clutch slave cylinder.
it depends on what kind of cluch you want to go with,at a Chevy dealership you can get a Toyota clutch or a chevey clutch. I had to put in a new clutch in my 96 prism and it was a Toyota and it costed me about 800
The clutch is not adjusted correct, if adjustable, I don't know the year your working on. There is air in the system, needs to be bleed again real good. Could have wrong throwout bearing too.
the forward gear clutch pack is worn out. the only solution is to get the transmission rebult.
You spelled "beetle" wrong.
once on my 99 beetle the cable on the transmission broke and i wouldn't take 1st, 2nd and reverse.it would just go straight to 3rd. i just replaced the ending of the cable which was really cheap at the dealer. and voula!!!
If it still has a reverse, just in the wrong place, then the linkage or cable from the shift lever to the transmission has streched or fallen out of alignment.
if you feel or hear it engage when put in reverse but will not move or even roll down the drive way. But rolls fine in neutral. a clutch pack is engaged that should not be.
what is wrong when my 2008 Ford Taurus X has no reverse
Leek.
it was changed to istanbul. This is wrong^
Because the shaft(s) in the gearbox are still spinning and the reverse gear typically doesn't have synchromesh to equalise their speeds as it engages. The shaft(s) are still spinning for one of three reasons: a) the clutch friction disc has not fully released from either of it's mating surfaces b) the oil in the gearbox is the wrong grade or quantity c) you are trying to shift into reverse too soon after disengaging the clutch Anti-sieze compount (e.g copper grease) on the input shaft splines may cure (a) if the clutch pressure plate isn't faulty and the clutch cable (or hydraulics if used) are correctly adjusted. (b) is unlikely unless the gearbox has been leaking or it's had it's oil changed shortly before the problem began.
