020 tranny ?

[wolfsburg16v@hotmail.com (Tony Morehead)]

the cable has been replaced b4 because a) it looks new and b) it isnt self 
adjust.  it is hard to push the petal down but it doesnt feel gritty.  i 
replaced the gear oil and putting it into first doesnt sound quite as bad, 
but it still buzzes and all the other gears sound terrible.  i havent let 
out on the petal because i am scared to mess shit up.  any more ideas 
anyone?  i have been without my rocco for about 7 months now while 
rebuilding the engine.  i just want my car back. :(

thanx
tony
