could be your reverse clicker.. check your blinker fluid.

VW Reverse gears suck.
The way the reverse gear engages, if you grind it badly even once you will chip it.
Once chiped you will have a hell of a click forever...or at least until you replace it.
Learn to love it, just dont try any reverse burn outs.

Re: reverse (WOB GMAN)

its not GOOD
my reverse is damaged to
when i back up it ticks...
it works fine.. stil but i dont go fast in reverse nor back up a big hill..
mine damaged at 220 000 km;'s now im at 260 xxx still working.
i suggest u flush ur tanny fluid assap if that gear tooth is floatin around ur tranny could explode. or it could be on the magnet . either way flush it and take it easy on it.
u can have this for years but fixing it is a alot my mechanic told me like 800 canadian just for that. and if anythig else is worn then..
it goes way up from there.. so i dunno
i figure ill use mine until the tranny blows up and then get a used or refurbished one.
not worth me spending nearly 1000 now.. whn for like 2-3 i can get a redone one fully.
so yea..
flush ur fluid asap.
and ul be ok jsut dont abuse ur reverse. baby it.

I drove mine like that for about 14 years, my future 2nd ex "forgot" it was a manual and jammed it into reverse, ran fine until I put a Kraftswerk remanned in last year. l
