IF YOUR SHIFTER FEELS LIKE YOUR SHIFTING THROUGH CEMENT WHEN CAR IS HOT MAKE SURE THE SHIFTER CABLES ARE NOT RUBBING OR TOO CLOSE TO EXAUST COMPONENTS. MY CASE WAS MISSING HEAT SHEILDING THAT ALLOWED THE CABLES TO SAG ON THE DOWN PIPE. CHEERS

[@scottk3292]

Very nice overview video! My 09 Honda Fit won't shift into gear unless I pump the clutch multiple times, and this is coming up after a shop installed a new slave cylinder. We just bled and changed the hydraulic fluid, and that helped for about 2 minutes. Then the shifting felt rougher, and then it refused to go into 1st. I was suspecting the synchronizers, but considering that pumping the clutch helps, now I'm wondering about the master cylinder, or thinking that maybe the new slave cyl is faulty.

[@davidgriggs3967]

Master cylinders can fail without leaking , they can bleed fluid back into the reservoir and give the same symptoms of hard to select gears and over time the ingagement point gets lower and lower to the floor as the seals continue to fail.

[@ussoldier137]

Parked the car last night and this morning it's hard to shift into any gear at all(almost impossible), no grinding noises and eventually I can get it into gear, with the car off it will go into any gear with ease like normal, when car is on is another story.

Excellent video, I have a problem with my manual transmission hard to shift. First was shifting between first and second gear vice versa were hard to shift some times, after a while the problem decrease, after some times get stuck in third gear for a while that happens a couple of times and now when a try to change between four and third gear sometimes is not possible to get the shift, I have to take to the second and then change into the third, any advice or suggestion I beginning to think that maybe is the shift cable.

[@absoluteclownworld]

I have a 2014 Mazda Mx-5 with the 6 speed manual. I'm having shifting issues from cold start to about 10-15 minutes of driving. Only in 2nd and 3rd gear. 1st, 4th and reverse don't feel the best but no problems shifting into those gears. 2nd and 3rd I get soft lock outs, a second or third attempt is usually needed. Sometimes the shift is ok but that's maybe 1 of 10 shifts. 3rd you can sort of feel a kick back when shifting up or down into it. Down shifting from 4th to 3rd is the worst and takes the longest time to clear up. After 10-15 minutes if driving all gears feel pretty good, minor notchy feels here and there. I've changed the transmission fluid to red line GL4. Put on about 3000 miles after change, no change feels the same as before. My clutch pedal bite point is very high, free play seems set right but you only have to press the clutch pedal down about 2 inches to shift, or less. After changing gears when lifting the clutch pedal back there is almost no feel of engagement, dead feeling. Really cold days the clutch pedal is very slow to come back, takes a few minutes to go back to normal. Not currently doing this now however. Only like 38000 miles on the car, second owner. 😞

[@wolffyx]

Hi, Have you found out the problem? I have a Mazda 6 2016 2.2 and I have exactly the same problem but with the first and second gear. This started to happen after I changed the clutch and flywheel(130000 miles). Changed trans fluid twice and still having the problem especially on cold weather. I am still trying to find a mechanic to help me fix the problem but no one so far.

[@absoluteclownworld]

@Lupu Marius Gabriel No I haven't solved it yet, I've only done trans fluid ( redline ) and played with my clutch adjustment a bit. Still 2nd and 3rd gear hard to shift into when cold for 5 to 10 mins. If I shift fast or higher rpm it seems to be better but still very frustrating 😞

[@wolffyx]

@@absoluteclownworld Same boat as you, I understand the struggle 😭. Mine is like this for 20 30 mins the is smooth like butter.

[@absoluteclownworld]

@Lupu Marius Gabriel In the winter it could take up to 20 mins, but now that's it's a little warmer out it's around 10 mins now on average. It could still be the clutch adjustment and I'm just not setting it correctly.. or just the way my transmissions tolerances are.. pretty common problem from what I can tell. Maybe throw out bearing or pilot bearing as well. Mechanics all the same, everything seems fine, tight tolerance transmission blah blah..

[@wolffyx]

@@absoluteclownworld yea all the mechanics that I was they told me same things, everything is fine, no problems, but the problem exists.

[@jamesford6431]

This morning I couldn't get into 5th gear or 6th, then while parked and going into reverse it was stiff! I don't usually drive or used my car since I work closer to home now. So not sure what's happening but I noticed that since Christmas the clutch would squeak when Pressing down on the pedal. The clutch was replaced back in August 2020 so it should still be fine? The mechanic I spoke to said that it was an old clutch that would need to be replaced but I told him it's barely 4 years old how's that. He tried to say after 2 years should be changed lol Nah not going back there again. Need to figure out what's wrong, before taking it in... This video was very informative but unfortunately I don't have anywhere where I could lift the car up and try to have a look?

[@zzr1985]

[@paulhannon9788]

Try double declutch. This is clutch in, shift to neutral, let clutch out and rev engine slightly then push clutch in and try the downshift. If it goes in OK then it could be the synchros or clutch adjustment. I would check clutch first as it probably this that is the problem.

Man! Thank you. You're probably the nicest person that I have ever watched on KZbin as far as car repair goes. My wife's Jette 5speed manual mk4 1.9 tdi has issues with shifting. We did auto to manual swap, then replaced the transmission again for a good one but here and there shift stick gets stiff and it is very difficult to engage or disengage. Or to change the gear. I have to force it very strongly to do make it move. Clutch is brand new, the clutch pedal goes down extremely easy like I have never had with any other car - maybe there's the connection to the problem? I am puzzled on this where to look and what to fix...

[@MechanicBase]

My first guess would be - misaligned cables that connect the gear lever and gearbox.

[@matrix_wizard6932]

Having a similar issue with a 21 Corolla Sedan 2.0 manual. Previous Corollas (and most other cars aside from an Alfa Brera) shifted fine. This one sometimes doesn't want to go into gear when parked. Second is hard to get into most times and sometimes grinds if shifting fast (clutch pedal fully depressed). The clutch/shift feels like the clutch doesn't fully disengage even when pedal is pressed ALL the way (not mats or obstruction). Just the other day on take-off before I fully released the pedal the power cut and the low fuel light came on. Even the iMT system is not as smooth during shifts anymore and rev-matching without it is much smoother. The car has had many gremlins and issues like this since brand new and Toyota cannot find any fault. Very annoying.

Then another time I'm stopped and had gear in neutral....I've went into 1st gear and it's not fully engaged with clutch all the way down and jumped back out....another time it fully went in and went to accelerate and made a gear crunching noise, then had to bring out and put in......and finally in 4th gear I can see the gear bobbing back and forwards when engaging and disengaging the accelerator! I've had a vauxhall viva without any issues with the gears and my partner had a Corsa for 11 year with no major issues either! May I ask what do you think the main problem is???

my second gear on my cobalt ss is completely out, and 4th and reverse some linkage issues, could this be fixed by just replacing the shifter assembly?

[@alexander-malafeev]

Thanks for the video! Perhaps you would have ideas for my issue? I have volvo c30 with MTX 75 transmission and it is difficult to shift to 1 and reverse when starting to move, but if I would hold a clutch pressed for more than 30 seconds then the shift is a lot easier, or if I would first shift to 3 then to 1 it is much easier. Also difficult to downshift without rev matching, with rev matching with no problem. When engine is not running shifts easy to any gear. Also when car get's warm issue almost disappears. I had replaced the gearbox oil and it did not give any result, but the oil which came out was quite dark. The car had 45000 km at the time. Biting point of the clutch is quit high, almost at the top so I don't think it is an issue with clutch disengagement. I also tried to put the car on the lift and put on the 1 gear with pressed clutch, the wheels were not moving, so I excluded the master cylinder issue, however I did not check for the leaks. The only idea which I had left is that the splines of the gearbox shaft are not lubricated enough so the clutch disc does not slide easy on the shaft away from the flywheel when clutch is disengaged and creates parasitic torque which is large enough to create resistance for the shifting but not large enough for wheels to spin. It also explains why the smaller the gear the larger the resistance and I guess when car gets hot the spline part of the clutch disc gets expanded + existing oil on the spline works better when warm. Also fits fly if I keep clutch pressed for a while it is easy to shift because from the vibration the clutch disc finally moves away from the flywheel. However I tried to lubricate the splines using a boroscope and oil spray through throughaway bearing window and it did not help. Perhaps the oil did not penetrate to the depth of the splines. Does this theory make any sense for you? Do you have any ideas what I can do?
