This is for all stick shift tC's....anyone else having some trouble getting the car back into first gear? I mean i am down shifting and second to first and sometimes it doesnt want to go into first you have to push hard! it's like GO IN YOU MF! HAAAAA!!! but then it finally goes in. Anyone else notiicing this? This is probably normal for stick shift cars HAA!!!! my frst car was an automatic, so this is all new to me. But i know how to drive stick that's what i learned on.

and before you ask YES THE CLUTCH IS ALL THE WAY IN!

I never have trouble getting into first. The only gear I have trouble getting in to sometimes is reverse.

scoobyroo2002

ME TOO!!!!!!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAA!! it's lke WHAT THE HA! then if you go to 4th..then back to reverse it's ok HA! OH WELL!

Why are you downshifting into first? You cant do it at higher speeds, do it at like under 10mph, and then also try double clutching and see if that fixes the issue.

scoobyroo2002

OH HELL NO! WHATS WRONG WIT CHU! HA! i dont downshift into first from high speeds! I am not that stupid! Where from my first post did you get that i was downshifting at high speeds?? I am downshifting after second ya know? going slow!!

scoobyroo2002

yes around 10mph or slower! coming to a stop not high speeds...SILLY BILLY NILLY!!

Just assumed, thats just weird, my wrx elts me downshift into first at like 22mph no problem. It kinda puts a block on it till that speed, as in i'll push it into first at like 30mph, it wont go but itll sit there i push slowly, and then at like 22 it clicks in no problem. Thats odd, id have a dealership check that out.

scoobyroo2002

CRAP! i dont want a huge list of things to have them check out with i go HA! i am already having them check out my idiling issue, my radio, cover, my rattling speaker, now this? CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAAAAAA

bambams247

whats wrong with your radio?

Rattlign speakers? Its a $16 plastic car, not a mercedes, I think its just the way the car is built, unless you are having major ratling problems or something. probably jsut the plastic around it ratting. And I think being able to shift properly should be on top of the check-out list, and then whatever idling issue you have!

thats the same on my dads dakota 5MT

always hard to get back in there... but when

i need to go into 1st i'm going like 5mph anyway

your wrx lets you do it because that is a safe speed being that the gear tops out close to 40mph.... when downshifting at higher rpms and speeds the transmission has safetys so you dont tear it up, when it stops you dont force it, just hold it in postion, it will unlock when ur speed and rpms decrease enough.

and for christs sakes chill with the caplocks bro.... its late .... too much entusiasm. go practice shifting and burn some energy

scoobyroo2002

No need to practice shifting if your just putting in back in first. Clutch in Push it in HA!

scoobyroo2002

bambams247
