while driving the car today, suddenly, the gear stick felt loose.... it changes gear fine, and drives as well as it did when i bought it, but there is no resistance to the gear change.... maybe its nothing, but i've heard a lot of bad things about the polo 1.6 gear box....

I would recommend making sure the fluid in the transmission is clean and full. Also, check the linkage to the transmission for anything that may have come loose.
