[kninio]

Hi to all , i have audi s4 b5 i left it stoped for two weeks now when i tried to drive it i found the gear shifter is hard in all the gears.. what could make it like that?

is this the same when engine running and engine stopped?

or only when engine running?

Very good question!

On my Cabbie 1.8 the gearbox was hard/impossible to shift with engine running.
Smooth like a marshmellow with engine off.

Flywheel was fubar/kaputt

well it been parked for a while and when i tried to shift it while parked it was hard and almost hard while runing or stoped , but a while after it run it become smoother. but the stick is almost hard in all gears not in first second... could it need linkage adjustmant?

clutch spline or springs. Leave it running so it gets nice and hot (on tick over) and see if it makes a difference

when i bought the car the owner give me a set of clutch and pressure plate its not sliping so i didnt fit it , u think its better if i change it?
