Good day Nairalanders,

Please i need you guys sincere and expertise advise..
I have a golf 3 auto transmission car, which i bought as tokunbo 3yrs ago,though it was performing well, but after like
8 months i bought the car it start giving transmission, problem which i had to changed the gearbox then, and it worked very fine for about six month, about seven month down the line again the same gear problem occurred, i had to change it the second time in less than 2years, now the gearbox is faulty again for the third time, now i had made up my mind to changed the gearbox to manual transmission... Pls i need a professional advise on the implications and possibly if there's any solution to these problem..

I had the same problem with my Jetta 3 and i had to convert to a manual transmission which i used for over 4years without giving any issues. Sold the car in May, 2012 cos i bought another Jetta car though a higher version.

if u want to sell, pls disclose your price

if you still want to use the car, change both engine and gear box.

Where do you reside? A happy to recommend the guy that did mine.
