A common issue with the Volkswagen Golf Mk5 is a grinding sound when changing gears, typically caused by a faulty gearbox. The gearbox is crucial for transferring power in a vehicle, converting speed and force through gear ratios. Proper gear usage enhances the cycling experience. Replacing the transmission ranges from $800 to $3,400, with used ones averaging $1,150 (from $800 to $1,500) and rebuilt ones averaging $1,950 (from $1,100 to $2,800).

    I'm having issues with my Golf 5 automatic. After replacing the old gearbox with a new one, I'm experiencing difficulty either driving off from a parked position or the car stops moving while in motion. What could be causing this problem?
