I everyone

driving home tonight, taking of from a intersection in first the car felt like it was in second or third, continued on, third gear then fourth stop at the next intersection and first felt weird and stuttered again like it was trying to take of in second. was able to get going slightly then stop to see what the problem is. No first gear or reverse. We in reverse the car wants to go forward then will ty to stall? First doesnt feel right like if the gear selector isnt selecting...Jumped on the net and found this fourm shortly after tryin to find other problems with polo gearboxes on the web.

The car is a 2004 polo twist with around 42000 miles.

What do people think it is? Should i ring AA VW or a local garage? Not sure what the problem may be. Is it gearbox, pedal box, master cylinder clutch cable etc.. Any help would be cool, bit pissed off really sorry for the long post rant

update....

Spoke with VW and have booked it in for a half hour inital check. Asked about problems that are known with this model of polo, for example the pedal box which they are aware of, and might even make a good will jesture towards any repairs that are related to that, although they did mention that it is a flow on effect from the clutch on it way out. Has anyone come across this before? What would be the best repose to VW about this, if infact the come back with "it is the Clutch" repair will be £700ish pound. Is this acceptable or should i try to come to some agreement?

cheers
