That's a great tip but if you don't want to destroy your transmission I would suggest fixing this properly as soon as possible. Although the forward gears don't grind since they have synchronizers, that excessive clutch/pilot bearing drag will cause a lot of stress on the synchronizers since they will be trying to speed up/slow down the mass of the entire engine which they can not do without suffering from excessive wear. The effect is the same as not pressing the clutch fully during shifts. Once the synchronizers are worn out, the forward gears will start grinding too and the only way to fix it will be to rebuild or replace the transmission. In the long run, it's much easier and cheaper to fix the clutch problem than destroy the transmission.

@@ajrai7159 If the problem is in all the gears, it's likely the clutch is intermittently not disengaging fully. It's also possible something in the shifter or its linkages are sticking or binding.

Yes, that's exactly what I do. I usually go from second, to first and then to reverse. If I have been in first gear for a while and then go into reverse, the gearbox spins again and the reverse gear refuses. So I always shift into a synchronized forward gear and then reverse. Highlighted is this problem when it's extremely cold, than the reverse gear won't engage at all. Then I have to move off in second, move off in first and then I can change into reverse.

Shifting to reverse before starting the engine only masks the issue, and your car may jump in reverse and hit someone/something, You are also causing more wear on your starter/battery. As the starter motor attemptint to move the car (cause clutch is partially engaged not fully released still has some friction and attempting to move the gearbox internals) most likely your issues are in the clutch hydraulics or pedal or clutch cable if it's old car. if its hydraulics maybe it needs bleeding if air got into the fluid.

@@CharouBoi if i was you, i would take extra care regardless of what is the actual issue. if it was hydraulic issue, it can go conpletely bad without warning. The next day you start your car it will jump and may hit someone / something. all of the sudden you can't predict these failures at all, sometimes they are weather related and gets worse in summer or winter due to fluid viscosity. I would keep my foot firmly on the brake pedal, have the parking brake on anytime i am in gear with clutch pushed in. Take care and stay safe, but this needs to be addressed due to safety related concerns.

Anything can be wromg even if the Bolts torque on the flywheel and pressure plate is not enough would cause issues.

@@iCSRify I am not pretty sure about what i am gonna say, but check engine/transmission mounts specially in FWD Cars Since Every FWD shifter is using cables from center console shifter to the transmission, any massive play and movement of the engine due to worn out mounts can pop the car out of gear. Since the shifter is fixed in place and doesnt move to counter that action RWD is mostly shiftdr directly connected to transmission or via short and stursy rods ?! your shifter bushings could be out too, does it have massive play in side to side movement of the shift knob or while it's in gear ? up/down and side to side ?!

@@iCSRify No worries, it may be worth to double check the engine mounts even though they said they were good my symptom with another fwd car(2006 Byd F3 chinese clone of the corolla) was if you popped the hood and let somsone check engine movements while handbrake is up both in reverse and 1st nothing is showing up at all, but if i tried to start from 0 with say 700-1200 RPM It shakes and clunks really bad i have to rev it to say 1600 1800 rpm and ease out on the clutch. How i discovered my mounts were bad is below. since fwd/awd cars are using what is called remote shifter, basically the shifter is always bolted down and doesn't move but the engine and gearbox has soft mounts to absorb all the vibrations, one way to test the mounts kill the engine, leave it in 1st gear on a flat surface with handbrake/parking brake off pop the hood/bonnet go outside and rock the car really hard back and forth, if you notice massive movement in the engine the mounts are shot mounts sometimes don't show any sumptoms if you rev it enough before taking off, high load and low rpm can cause vobrations and noise when accelerating from 0 since you mentioned your car rolls fine in reverse, but when you get to some speed it grinds(probably pops out of gear also) try to be really gentle when accelerating backwards, avoid sudden throttle inputs and be linear with the throttle, does it grind and tries to popout be halfway in gear? TL;DR: Check engine/Trans mount. check shifter bushings from both ends (interior of the car) and gearbox shifter cables ends i am confident it's probably mounts issue. Does holding pressure on shifter helps?! will it stop the grinding? otherwise you may have internal issue in the gearbox (shifter forks or some other stuff , i am not sure honestly) Best of Luck, Stay Safe.
