Just hit the 1000 mile point in my new Passat. Everything is fine except that the stick shift seems to be a bit stiff going into first and second... it feels like the syncros may be grinding on something. No grinding noise is made, it just feels like there is a little resistance. I just traded from a 99 B5, which shifted like buttah', and I assumed that the stiffness was simply a part of the break-in process... but at 1k miles, I am thinking some kind of lubricant may be needed.
Any feedback?
