So when I first got my 2107 Golf with an M5 transmission I was pretty rusty with a manual and I absent mindedly shoved it in to reverse without depressing the clutch! It made a pretty nast clicking noise and killed the engine.
I don't think any major damage was caused, but every now and then I get a slight clunk when shifting into reverse.
Today, the gears even grinded a bit when I put it into reverse when going off to lunch. I had the clutch fully depressed when this happened.
Do we have reverse synchros? Could this be one gong bad? Clunks don't happen every day at all, but I hate hearing them.
Should I just shift into 2nd before I go into reverse?
