000311675 Volkswagen CYLINDER

These cylinders – and there’s usually more than one in a gearbox – are basically pistons in a hydraulic system. They take fluid pressure from your clutch system and convert it into the mechanical motion needed to select your gears. They push rods to move forks inside the transmission, ultimately engaging the gears you want. They’re all about controlled movement – shifting smoothly. Think of it this way – when you push the clutch pedal, you’re starting a chain reaction. That pedal activates the master cylinder, which sends hydraulic pressure down to these gearbox cylinders. They're the muscle that actually does the work of changing gears. Without them functioning properly, you won’t be able to get the transmission to shift at all, or it’ll be incredibly difficult and jerky. It’s a key part of that whole system. Well, if one of these cylinders fails, it’s going to cause shifting problems, and those problems will get worse pretty quickly. You’ll notice if you can’t get into certain gears, or if the clutch feels spongy, or if you have trouble getting into any gear. It acts like a shield, protecting the more expensive parts of the transmission from damage if something goes wrong with the clutch system. Ignoring a failing cylinder will lead to bigger, costlier repairs down the line, possibly damaging the entire transmission. You can find these pretty easily online, Fixparts Online has a good selection, but it’s important to get the right one for your specific vehicle. One size fits all: Cylinder (MPN 000311675) has a 12-month warranty!
