Hard time getting in gears

jaedub · 04-20-2011, 02:11 AM

I know what your talking about. Yeah, its hard to explain. Anyhow....once youre stuck in that position trying to force the gear in, ease up the clutch and give it a little gas while shifting. Your gear will go in without you straining yourself.

So next time, dont force it. Just lean the knob naturally into your desired gear while gently pushing the gas and easing up the clutch.

If it dont work then it could be some other problem.

i have the same problem shifting into first during a cold start, but goes away after a couple mins of driving, try maybe changing the trans fluid to redline. I've this topic b4 on other threads, if that doesn't work then i would say to take it to the dealer.
