vjanuska Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hello, Just wondering if anyone else had difficulty to engage into reverse, first and second gears? All the rest needs more force than usual. I will adjust the shift linkage tomorrow, but despite that it is strange as this problem appeared overnight once I took the car from the repair shop on other matters.

Dollyman Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 I wouldn't mess about with it if it was straight after being in the garage for other work, get on to them ASAP. Was it OK on the way home? Car under warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuR Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Were the other matters transmission related ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjanuska Posted October 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Car was for bumper respray, so nothing related to the mechanicals. And no, warranty is gone long time ago 90k miles on it. It was difficult to engage the gear on the way home, but I live 500m from the repair shop, so thought maybe it's cold engine or something. The next day it was impossible to engage reverse on working engine, only on shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjanuska Posted October 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 After realigning shift linkages, seems that it got both better and worse. The reverse is now engaging, but it's not possible to switch gears above 2k rpm. And on the first gear upon starting to move, vibration is sensible which makes me think that it's more of a cluch problem than gearbox.

gregozedobe Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 If the clutch isn't fully disengaging it can make changing gears difficult when the engine is running, but changing gears is usually OK with the engine stopped (except when the cogs get mis-aligned). Can you change gears normally with the engine switched off ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjanuska Posted October 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Yes, on the turned off engine gears goes smooth as supposed. Also noticed that cluch pedal has no resistance at all, which was not a case prior the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Povilas Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Hi, I have the same problem just one thing is different that when the engine is off is also hard to get the gear in. Any ideas what's the problem could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
