98JettaK2
i haven't had problems with my 98 reverse, but my other gears have acted up. i believe that it might be the syncronizer. i sometimes cant get in 2nd or 4th gear. i have to shift it back and forth to work it in. SO, i might be having the same problem. a mechanic told me to either change the Transmission Fluid or to go ahead and get the syncronizer checked out. i haven't had problems with my 98 reverse, but my other gears have acted up. i believe that it might be the syncronizer. i sometimes cant get in 2nd or 4th gear. i have to shift it back and forth to work it in.

If it's a manual it's supposed to whine when reverse is used, if it's an automatic it probably just needs transmission fluid.
Purcahse a shift rebuild kit, I did mine recently. Was not bad job and restored crisp shifting. Try www.germanautoparts.com , they seem good.
