gears
hi all just wondering if it was just my sub that did this!if my car is moving like 3-4mph it wont go into 1st gear if i stop to 0 it goes in no problem no crunches or anything has ever happened i get other gears easy!any1 help????

1st gear in any car isn't really designed to be selected until stationary. You can double de-clutch which should ease the shift, but I never have to select 1st gear on the move. You can almost stop in 2nd gear without stalling anyway! :thumb:
|
Mine will go into first if I'm careful at around 15-20mph. TBH the only time I do this is in stop start traffic, however it can be useful when you want to hare it out of a tight hairpin..:norty:

When was the last time you changed your gear oil? If it's been a while, chuck some castrol syntrax driveline in there. Will make a world of difference.
|
it was last givin a service in the middle of jan about 1000 miles al check that tho cos u never no they might not have done it!cheers

Gear oil isn't usually changed unless specified. Should be changed every 2 years though, along with the rear diff oil.
|
it was meant to be done as they were told to do all oils and fluids!! i will check asap! thanks
|
depends what they used though. :thumb:
