6MT fails to go into gear
Since purchasing the car, a few times the car has failed to go into third gear when shifting from second Resulting in a grinding noise. After having a manual B7 and never ever experiencing this issue it is surprising to me. I feel like if I had pushed harder it may have gone into gear but I don’t make it a habit of trying to reproduce. That being said I wasn’t doing anything noticeably differently during that shift. Has anyone experienced this? Will this hurt the car?

I've had instances where 3rd gear shifts feel differently than the other ones (not a "click-click" type of feel but just goes in there - if that makes sense), but haven't experienced it not going into gear at all...Definitely have it checked out- although if you can't reproduce it with the tech, unfortunately it may have to get worse before they can determine whats happening.

Has the feel of your clutch pedal changed at all? My clutch failed rather suddenly. At first I noticed that the clutch felt a little strange, like the friction point had moved a little closer to the firewall. By the end of the day, the clutch pedal had dropped to the floor with the clutch still fully engaged and the pedal wouldn't spring back. My dealer had to replace the entire clutch and could not explain the cause of the failure.
EDIT - It turns out that hydraulic fluid was leaking from the system, which caused the clutch to lose pressure. The fluid was also leaking into the clutch, which caused it to slip. The dealer replaced the master cylinder once and the clutch twice.
