Hi there, I have direct question for known folks from VAG scene in this forum because I need serious ‘HELP’ - answers

After kind of short gently pull 1st-2nd and 3rd gear I thought I loose Clutch or either Gearbox since 4th gear didnt engaged at all
Well, few second later I realised that Im stuck in 3rd Gear and I need to tow the car...

In most cases stuck in Gear means forks since 1st-2nd gear and 3rd-4th gear forks are the weakest point after 4th gear it self under very hard load of power

Gearbox was opened and 3rd-4th Gear fork was total dead :D

Sorry about messing you around I love back stories or type of reviews, what happened after some kind of damage

The QUESTION IS I found few companies that offer kind of UPGRADED STEEL FORKS one of which is Darkside Developement and they do offer this - https://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/02m-02q-steel-selector-shifter-forks.html

Any reviews on these or further information or any other ideas are welcome

Thanks to everyone in advance !!!

Note: Tried to find any information about but havn't found much at all, no matter I have read something here and there before about these weak points of our "STRONG GEARBOXES"
 
Oem weakness
