The 5 speed in the eairly 986's was an Audi transmission and while they have proven pretty durable if used carefully, there are certainly a number of people who have suffered failures. You could try draining and replacing the transmission fluid (and look for metal particles). From what you have described, however, I suspect that this will not elminate the problem. Until you can get another transmission, you may want to start in second gear and avoid first altogether. I know, it makes for slower starts and will be harder on the clutch, but it may avoid further damage in the interim.

Good luck and keep us posted!
