Did this on my ‘04 VR6 back in 2016. My 3rd gear growl was crazy before, and I couldn’t believe the slop the input shaft had. This and a better dogbone were the best things I did to that car.
Nothing feels better than making the correct diagnosis and it's even better when it turns out to be the cheaper of the possible fixes. Great video as always.
I am a car mechanic and this is the only guy that i like to watch and i never cringe.Not because he is good in what he does and there is no bs but because he is an awesome dude.
I have a 1.9 Tdi PD100 and its started to get some gear groaning noise lately, so I'm defintely going to give this a try. I gave it the transmission fluid, long-life, change when I got it plus the LiquiMoly aditive. Really good video, as ever, many thanks from the UK.
Thanks Charles for really dialing in that transmission. may, I really miss my '04 Mk4 GTI 1.8t 5M...15 years of fun times and that was on the stock tune. I almost thought it was going to be a poly dogbone bushinging the owner put in...but I was wrong
If you and Rainman Ray had a weird lovechild (somehow!) It would be able to fix anything known to mankind. Plus it would have an awesome beard. Love your videos, everything is so calm and easily explained for a novice like me. Thank you. 👍👍
Great video!!! Well explained!👍 Question: 2016 Kia Soul. Possibly bad transmission…going out. A mechanic said… Symptoms: makes very loud metal like noise (engine area), almost sounds like a steam engine whistle mix . Car barely makes it up the hill during acceleration…reduces speed from 65mph to 50mph. When more acceleration, the sound increases. Trans fluid is good and clean looking. Over 100k miles. Original owner, purchased new off the lot. Well maintained all fluids. Car still drives ok, sometimes can stop running at a slow down or stop. I thought maybe emissions… No check engine lights. No bad codes or any codes. Does anyone think this is a bad transmission?
Same issue is present on similar vintage Seat Leons (and presumably all other cars that use the same powertrain) - I installed the same shim on my own Leon years ago 👌
Another great video. What are the chances that this washer is already present in an early build 2006 MKV GTI? I get the typical gear noise ever since I went to a single-mass flywheel. I'm wondering if the addition of this washer would quiet things down.
Washer or shim works like you said, but because I'm a pedant and can't help myself, a washer is typically used to distribute the load of a fastener being torqued down, so this would by definition be a shim because it's being used to fill a space and provide for better fit.
Thank you, Charles. Another excellent and informative video. I appreciate how you always take the time to explain how things work, why they're not, and how to fix them. I always learn a lot from you.
as always amazing content Charles! if you had the choice to put in a trans, would you go 02J VR6 or 02M VR6? besides the obvious difference with 6th and the larger disc, what would you choose?
Dude your video saved the day again. Over the past few years ive watched your content to help resolve some unfamiliar problems. I recently traded a car for a gti with some issues to have a project for my younger brother. Biggest issue was the horrendous noise from the transmission. I had to get a slightly thicker washer from the one in the video but i wouldnt have thought to try this if i hadn't heard you recreate the noise and then make it disappear. Thankyou!
Sadly, I don't think this fix will work on my nearing 280,000 mile Subaru transmission. It has a bit of a whine because when I bought the car it was a bit low on transmission fluid and I didn't realize until it started to whine after a long trip. Totally my fault. I checked every fluid except the manual trans because it almost never goes low in my experience. My guess is a pretty worn bearing, so similar cause, but mine is more of a high pitched whine. If I ever do the clutch again, I'll probably have a go at a rebuild.
Does adding the friction modifiers have any negative effect on the way the synchros work? Or for that matter any positive effect on the quality of shift and gear engagement?
😂 having done this less than a year ago I knew what was coming just based on the title of the video. Naturally I repaired it after listening to the noise for years and did nothing until the clutch no longer worked properly.. I still had quite a lot of play even with the shim (no noise though) but I guess that isn't a surprise after 470k km..
Good job, but you measured the play in different directions. 0.100 - 0.078 = 0.022" play: 0 to 0.01 = .01 " play. Difference = 0.013 - 0.01 = 0.012 ~= 0.01 shim. Adds up.
I do believe that the tire and rim in unison makes a wheel. Ey? 🤨 Good vid. Learned a thing or two again today. Eg. a D-cell is not a cell but probably means deceleration. 👍
Interesting to hear what too much end-play sounds like (thanks!) - surprised you weren't hearing a thud on/off throttle or getting vibration - thrust load from the helical gears will force that shaft back-forth under throttle/coast - my Kia made the SAME noise under deceleration (like marbles rattling in a jar) at >3,000 rpm but worn needle bearing races were the culprit (I rebuilt)
A few years ago i had a 03 Jetta GLI with the this trans, and the 24v vr6. Loved that car but the transmission had a whine so i sold it for 750 before it broke on me and was worth nothing. Wonder if this would have helped
I had this problem on a MK5 Golf GTI, although it didn't manifest itself in noise. Instead, I could feel the clutch pedal pulsing due to the play in the input shaft. The clutch pedal also used to get stuck sometimes. I fitted the shim on my driveway and the problem went away.
The megatronics was taken out and found a lot of filings on the 2 magnets. We were hearing bearing noise in the transmission. The technician used hydraulic oil in both the transmission and megatronics. We found the found the filter in the megatronics gummy. Can you say how many bearings to be changed in the transmission housings. I saw a video and counted 4 roller bearings plus the input shaft bearing. I found a site selling 10 bearings. Can you please provide the number of bearings and the kit #.Also where to get the input shaft cover and the bearings .
I drive a 5 speed 1.8 20 valves turbo engine, the transmission makes a very ugly noise when in neutral, but when I press the clutch and put it into gear it is gone, and when I take it out of the gear it is still gone but when I take my foot off the clutch the ugly noise comes back. do you think it is the same issue as the car in the video with the same fix, or does it sound like something else?? like a bearing inside or something.
I have honda fit 2018 automatic. Transmission makes scraping noise while coasting less than 5 mph. Instantly goes off when applied acceleration. What could be the issue
Awesome fix!!!😮… I need help 😭😭😭…question-I have an 02’ beetle 1.8t manual transmission. In 3rd gear and pedal floored, at 3k rpm’s it coughs/pops/hesitates . After like 5 seconds it pushes through runs great.in neutral floored it revs great.bad turbo? Ignition?idk what it can be. Thank you for any help
Hi guys! I need your help! I think my car has the same problem but I'm not sure...is this problem common to be in a golf mk6 2009 1.4 tsi? (6 speed manual) The mechanics here in Holland only have one solution.... gearbox out en new one in.. pretty expensive (1100$)😢
Great performance. I have the same noise while accelerating. AISIN 8 Speed on VW. I was told that the noise has no negative consequences ! Is that True? Thanks
Hey Charles really quick... Passat 03 transmission 6 gear fluid, GL4+ 501.05 or GL5 501.05? Ohh I've seen the end but still its Gl4+(GL4/GL5) wtf? Edit: Do brass syncs ever go because of the fluid?
Greets from Germany, I drive a MK5 R32 and got the same Noises. Clutch already Replaced and the Dual Mass Flywheel. If i press the Clutch (Engine running) the Noise is gone. Could this be the Same issue ? Like ur Vids ! :)
Hi may I ask you an unrelated question....I have a mk4 Anni 1.9 TDI PD150.... unfortunately the seals on the brake master cylinder have gone seemingly....it's leaking fluid down the pedal. Have been told you need to take the engine out to replace :( Is this true?
Will this washer piece work for a 2012 Mk6 GTI? Just started hearing this nasty sound in the driver side wheel well (transmission area), mainly while in 4th and 6th gears, both load on the transmission and when decelerating while in gear.. I can sometimes hear a ticking sound in the same area while idling, goes away the moment I press the clutch in. The site for the washer states only compatible on Mk4/Mk5 using 02Q code transmission.. I think Mk6 GTI has the same transmission, right? (Not the 0FB?)
hi i have 2011 Audi Q5 auto transmission OB5 and does rattles and vibrates during acceleration.. changed DMF and Clutch pack.. still rattles and have similiar sound as yours.. any idea how to fix?
I have hamming noise on the Right Side in the area of motor. But you hear it only you start to go ~10 mph (like some asymmetric valve starts to rotate), then it would increase getting maximum at 35-45 mph. Then seems goes a bit down at higher speeds. The sound doesn't change if you switch gears. All that makes me hope that the sound is produced by some suspension part, and not engine (again no sound at idling). The car is 2003 Chevy Cavalier. I needed to replace the radiator there (was loosing coolant sometimes until I added K fluid), on that replacement I saw that the fan was not working, so I replaced the motor there. I saw also that there is some oil on the Right CV Axle cylinder (that one that goes into transmission). I replaced Cv Axle and seal, and plan to replace struts as well, just bcs of the mileage. Please can someone give an opinion if that sound still can be from the engine. Thank you for the great film. it is a pleasure to see such experienced mechanic.
Hi mate, I was having a bad issue, sticking in gear and jamming in gear when putting the clutch back in causing car to either stall or creep, I checked out the play and noticed same, ordered 3 0.65 shims and fit 2 now no play at all and no issues with shifting or sticking in gear Going to do an oil change will will buy what you suggest I’m also using a smf and got the neutral chatter until you put the clutch in or driving which is doing my head in, any experience with Lucas transmission fix? Told that the chatter isn’t the flywheel but it’s the gears when free and Lucas transmission fix will thicken up the oil and stop it ?
My Audi RS3 2017 is making loud grinding noise on deceleration. No noise when accelerating, loud grinding noise appears as soon as you let off the gas pedal. Do you think it is the same problem here?
I might have the same issue. Im hearing grinding sound when reving while idle (aboev 3500 RPM)as well as during first gear, shifing to 2nd Manual Trans Honda CIty pleasehelp :(
Hmh! My ‘03 GTI VR6 did the same thing. I drove with the windows down often (because VR6) and would notice the same noise under the same circumstances, reflecting back at me off the jersey barrier on the parkway. Besides that noise, everything on the car (including the original clutch) behaved up until 297k miles when the original timing chain system gave up the ghost. But now I know what that noise was! Thank you Charles.
Would something like this work on an O2J transmission? I too am having a noise while decelerating and it goes away whenever I press in the clutch. I did make it go away for the most part when I change the fluid, but I’m sure it’ll be back sooner than later.
That's not what I would call a whining noise. My interpretation of a whine (!) is a high pitch noise. That was all sorts of horrible grumbling. What might you suggest for a high pitched whine in all gears that disappears when the clutch is depressed / coasting? It could be a similar thing I guess, or perhaps the output shaft bearing itself (can that be replaced through that same end cap?) ? thx
Im up on stands. Left tire on r- is off. Getting clunking noice on right side. Seems to be coming from outer cv near brake. This side barely turns in 1st gear at idle. Other side turns ok. Is my manual gearbox bad?
My end cap was weeping for awhile. I was reluctant to replace it myself and i didnt have a seal driver. I seen a hack on youtube use a block of wood! Ended up at the shop tranny fluid replaced 200$ and the end cap 1 hr labour 115. Oh well 😄👍
Is this the same for a o2j. More specifically the 04-05 tdi o2j. Yes I did the swap years ago on my 03 alh for the taller 4th and 5th gear. But have noticed the same kind of wine when coming off power.
Hi there iam reaching out to you again i have a 2015 golf tsi 1.8 t and i have a 10 second whirling noise only on cold start this problem began around 60k. I took it to the dealer and left it for a few days they later told me that it was normal? I am a certified tech and since it only does it briefly its been hard for more to get down to the root. Ive been told pcv system, secondary air pump and even turbo and this is coming from all sources even other tecs. Any help or ideas will do wonders tnx. And keep up the good work.
I know you do golf but was wondering if you could help me diagnose my kia stinger rwd whine when accelerating. I blew my passenger side rear drive shift and the mechanic didn't replace the diff oil or top it up. I have replaced it but has been a couple 1000ks as I didn't know.
My first gear is howling. Obvious at low rpm and especially when deaccelerating, going from second to first. I checked transmission fluid and there was a bit of water in it, I replaced the fluid but it's clearly too late.
Please help I have 2013 gti and I contacted ur recommended shop and they said they don’t have the shim and cover for my 2013 my car is making the same noise but louder
Had the same problem with my R32, Pulled the cover off, and the transmission had zero play, didn't end up putting the shim in, in hind sight I probably should've. Maybe i'll try it again when I flush my trans fluid.
Did this on my ‘04 VR6 back in 2016. My 3rd gear growl was crazy before, and I couldn’t believe the slop the input shaft had.
This and a better dogbone were the best things I did to that car.
Manual mk4, the dog bone bushings were the BEST mod you can do. Made the car feel so much better.
Nothing feels better than making the correct diagnosis and it's even better when it turns out to be the cheaper of the possible fixes. Great video as always.
Yet again humble mechanic You're the guy we need!
I am a car mechanic and this is the only guy that i like to watch and i never cringe.Not because he is good in what he does and there is no bs but because he is an awesome dude.
Thanks!!!
I have a 1.9 Tdi PD100 and its started to get some gear groaning noise lately, so I'm defintely going to give this a try. I gave it the transmission fluid, long-life, change when I got it plus the LiquiMoly aditive. Really good video, as ever, many thanks from the UK.
Which oil did you use?
Man I wish you made this video 3 months ago lol, I had the same problem with my 2004 GTI VR6 in 3rd gear, scared the hell out of me
Wow what a perfect timing. I just noticed it on my civic. Will try what I learn here!
Thanks Charles for really dialing in that transmission. may, I really miss my '04 Mk4 GTI 1.8t 5M...15 years of fun times and that was on the stock tune. I almost thought it was going to be a poly dogbone bushinging the owner put in...but I was wrong

Question: 2016 Kia Soul. Possibly bad transmission…going out.
A mechanic said…
Symptoms: makes very loud metal like noise (engine area), almost sounds like a steam engine whistle mix .
Car barely makes it up the hill during acceleration…reduces speed from 65mph to 50mph. When more acceleration, the sound increases.
Trans fluid is good and clean looking.
Over 100k miles.
Original owner, purchased new off the lot.
Well maintained all fluids.
Car still drives ok, sometimes can stop running at a slow down or stop.
I thought maybe emissions… No check engine lights.
No bad codes or any codes.
Does anyone think this is a bad transmission?
Same issue is present on similar vintage Seat Leons (and presumably all other cars that use the same powertrain) - I installed the same shim on my own Leon years ago 👌
This video may have saved me what I thought was a gearbox rebuild... I've ordered the parts lets see if this fixes it
It worked
did not expect to watch entire video.. but here I am
Awesome fix…$50 fix!!!! Amazeballs! 👍💯✌️🔥👏🏽👑
as a Golf Mk5 1.6 FSI (eu) 6speed owner, thank you in advance ;)
It was nice meeting you at Dubs…
Had the same issue on my 04 Beetle Turbo S. This fix definitely works, atleast it did for me.
My 225 mk1 TT makes a similar gear whine but only in 5th gear. Drove someone elses TT, and that car had the same whine in the same gear.
Thanx for the video and view of what the components look like that I'm missing. Good day ☺️
God what I wouldn't do to have you look into this transmission issue I've been having with my mk7.
What’s going on? 6 speed?
my cover had a VW logo on it, on my 2.Slow.
Wednesday noon is the new Sunday noon.
I was behind hahah
wheel and tire module..... noted!
Ur a genius man
Another great video. What are the chances that this washer is already present in an early build 2006 MKV GTI? I get the typical gear noise ever since I went to a single-mass flywheel. I'm wondering if the addition of this washer would quiet things down.
50 bucks and and a fully loaded mechanic shop and 25 years experience.
Nice video!! Thank you!!!!

AHH YES the jb welded 1.8T oil pan
Funny enough this car is at the shop now for a clutch and chains haha
@@HumbleMechanic is the jb weld still holding? Lol
SOMEHOW it is!!!
Good 👍🏼
Plz do volvo v50 automatic transmissen oil change
Always remove fill plug before drain plug boys and girls
Edit: NVM you mentioned it later👍
I tried this fix, but the shim seemed too thick and I couldn't put the snap ring back into the groove. Are there different thicknesses for the shim?
Just paid 330 pou d to get cutch replaced onky for turbo to go on my 2014 vw passat
Bravo
Sir... You and your videos are pure gold.
Nah, platinum plus.
Agreed
Thank you, Charles. Another excellent and informative video. I appreciate how you always take the time to explain how things work, why they're not, and how to fix them. I always learn a lot from you.
How did you know that this shim is the fix, and how long will it last?
as always amazing content Charles! if you had the choice to put in a trans, would you go 02J VR6 or 02M VR6? besides the obvious difference with 6th and the larger disc, what would you choose?

Hey guyz maybe You can help me. I wanna change my cluster from 0 to 1/2 fis. Do i need new wires or just new wiper switch?

Sadly, I don't think this fix will work on my nearing 280,000 mile Subaru transmission. It has a bit of a whine because when I bought the car it was a bit low on transmission fluid and I didn't realize until it started to whine after a long trip. Totally my fault. I checked every fluid except the manual trans because it almost never goes low in my experience. My guess is a pretty worn bearing, so similar cause, but mine is more of a high pitched whine. If I ever do the clutch again, I'll probably have a go at a rebuild.
Does adding the friction modifiers have any negative effect on the way the synchros work? Or for that matter any positive effect on the quality of shift and gear engagement?
I swapped this transmission into my 2008 mk5 rabbit and have the same issue. This has been driving me insane. Thank youuuuu!
😂 having done this less than a year ago I knew what was coming just based on the title of the video. Naturally I repaired it after listening to the noise for years and did nothing until the clutch no longer worked properly..
I still had quite a lot of play even with the shim (no noise though) but I guess that isn't a surprise after 470k km..
Good job, but you measured the play in different directions. 0.100 - 0.078 = 0.022" play: 0 to 0.01 = .01 " play. Difference = 0.013 - 0.01 = 0.012 ~= 0.01 shim. Adds up.
I do believe that the tire and rim in unison makes a wheel. Ey? 🤨
Good vid. Learned a thing or two again today. Eg. a D-cell is not a cell but probably means deceleration. 👍
loving the content, my liqui moly products are being shipped to me as we speak!!!
Interesting to hear what too much end-play sounds like (thanks!) - surprised you weren't hearing a thud on/off throttle or getting vibration - thrust load from the helical gears will force that shaft back-forth under throttle/coast - my Kia made the SAME noise under deceleration (like marbles rattling in a jar) at >3,000 rpm but worn needle bearing races were the culprit (I rebuilt)
This is a big one. I feel like every mk4 I've driven needed this....they were all well over 200k lol
Just wondering can this 6 speed be directly bolt on to replace the 5 speed mk4 gti?
Just love when things come together :)
A few years ago i had a 03 Jetta GLI with the this trans, and the 24v vr6. Loved that car but the transmission had a whine so i sold it for 750 before it broke on me and was worth nothing. Wonder if this would have helped
This fix are just for VR6 02M or for 1.8T 02M too? I'm having the same noise on my Beetle Turbo S

dsg transmission-when upshifting from lower gears, hear a loudish metal clank noise and can feel upshifts through car in general. any ideas?
I have honda fit 2018 automatic. Transmission makes scraping noise while coasting less than 5 mph. Instantly goes off when applied acceleration. What could be the issue
I just wonder how many transmissions have been replaced or traded in because of that exact noise... If they only knew
Yes, I was told my transmission needed to be rebuilt. Unfortunately, not all 02Ms have the cover at the end of the input shaft.
Awesome fix!!!😮… I need help 😭😭😭…question-I have an 02’ beetle 1.8t manual transmission. In 3rd gear and pedal floored, at 3k rpm’s it coughs/pops/hesitates . After like 5 seconds it pushes through runs great.in neutral floored it revs great.bad turbo? Ignition?idk what it can be. Thank you for any help
Where did you buy this small black plastic nozzle you use to fill the transmission?
Hi guys!
I need your help!
I think my car has the same problem but I'm not sure...is this problem common to be in a golf mk6 2009 1.4 tsi? (6 speed manual)
The mechanics here in Holland only have one solution.... gearbox out en new one in.. pretty expensive (1100$)😢
Great performance. I have the same noise while accelerating. AISIN 8 Speed on VW. I was told that the noise has no negative consequences ! Is that True? Thanks
Hey Charles really quick... Passat 03 transmission 6 gear fluid, GL4+ 501.05 or GL5 501.05?
Ohh I've seen the end but still its Gl4+(GL4/GL5) wtf?
Edit: Do brass syncs ever go because of the fluid?
Got a 1991 Chevy S10 truck that when the clutch is engaged there is a whirring sound. What’s going on????? HELP
Greets from Germany,
I drive a MK5 R32 and got the same Noises.
Clutch already Replaced and the Dual Mass Flywheel.
If i press the Clutch (Engine running) the Noise is gone.
Could this be the Same issue ?

Hi mate, I was having a bad issue, sticking in gear and jamming in gear when putting the clutch back in causing car to either stall or creep, I checked out the play and noticed same, ordered 3 0.65 shims and fit 2 now no play at all and no issues with shifting or sticking in gear
Going to do an oil change will will buy what you suggest
I’m also using a smf and got the neutral chatter until you put the clutch in or driving which is doing my head in, any experience with Lucas transmission fix? Told that the chatter isn’t the flywheel but it’s the gears when free and Lucas transmission fix will thicken up the oil and stop it ?

Would something like this work on an O2J transmission? I too am having a noise while decelerating and it goes away whenever I press in the clutch. I did make it go away for the most part when I change the fluid, but I’m sure it’ll be back sooner than later.
Mine has same grinding noise, BUT only when I press the gas pedal when accelerating on 2nd gear - 5th gear... toyota rav4 2003 manual... pls help
I have a similar sound but much louder in my 2011 Mazda 3 2.5 6 speed manual, do I have to replace the whole transmission? Thanks in advance 🫡
That's not what I would call a whining noise. My interpretation of a whine (!) is a high pitch noise. That was all sorts of horrible grumbling.
What might you suggest for a high pitched whine in all gears that disappears when the clutch is depressed / coasting? It could be a similar thing I guess, or perhaps the output shaft bearing itself (can that be replaced through that same end cap?) ? thx
One time my vehicle made whining noises. When I dropped my nieces and nephews off at home the whining noises stopped LOL
Wining, the sound is not. That would be a bearing. But hey, you fixed what vw ammended in 2006. Probably earlier for Europe
Im up on stands. Left tire on r- is off. Getting clunking noice on right side. Seems to be coming from outer cv near brake. This side barely turns in 1st gear at idle. Other side turns ok. Is my manual gearbox bad?

Great video!
I have a similar noise on mtx75 transmission. Perhaps you have an idea how it can be fixed?
Is this the same for a o2j. More specifically the 04-05 tdi o2j. Yes I did the swap years ago on my 03 alh for the taller 4th and 5th gear. But have noticed the same kind of wine when coming off power.
Hi there iam reaching out to you again i have a 2015 golf tsi 1.8 t and i have a 10 second whirling noise only on cold start this problem began around 60k. I took it to the dealer and left it for a few days they later told me that it was normal? I am a certified tech and since it only does it briefly its been hard for more to get down to the root. Ive been told pcv system, secondary air pump and even turbo and this is coming from all sources even other tecs. Any help or ideas will do wonders tnx. And keep up the good work.
I know you do golf but was wondering if you could help me diagnose my kia stinger rwd whine when accelerating. I blew my passenger side rear drive shift and the mechanic didn't replace the diff oil or top it up. I have replaced it but has been a couple 1000ks as I didn't know.
Hi, do you have a video of a golf mk7 gtd 2017 dsg spigot bearing replacement
My first gear is howling. Obvious at low rpm and especially when deaccelerating, going from second to first. I checked transmission fluid and there was a bit of water in it, I replaced the fluid but it's clearly too late.
Hi sir, would appriciate if you have any fix for this on a Golf MK3 partnr 085 gearbox, thanks
Please help I have 2013 gti and I contacted ur recommended shop and they said they don’t have the shim and cover for my 2013 my car is making the same noise but louder
YOU CAN CUT A GALON JUG IN HALF. AND STICK THE HANDLE OF THE SCEW DIVER IN TO THE UNCUT END OF THE JUCK. THIS WILL AMPLYFY the noise
What's the torque on the fill plug and drain plug? The Bentley says nothing. I have an O2J, but assume they're about the same
I think I need to do this for my 02J in my 2000 Jetta GLX . Any idea how I can easily find the part numbers online
02j doesn’t have that
Had the same problem with my R32, Pulled the cover off, and the transmission had zero play, didn't end up putting the shim in, in hind sight I probably should've. Maybe i'll try it again when I flush my trans fluid.
Hi, i am wondering if this metod would work on a mk7 GTi, because IT Is making same noises. Thx.
Will this work for an 07 MK5 2.0T 6 speed manual transmission as well? I believe i have the same issue.
