getting rejected from first
Hey all this might be something I missed while searching, so apologies in advance, but its starting to become a recurring theme where I can feel that im not all the way into first and if gas it and let the clutch out I dont go anywhere and i hear a whirring noise from it clearly not being into gear all the way. So knowing what that feels like I will take it out of first if I feel it isnt all the way in but sometimes even after i put it back into neutral it will not let me go all the way into first and I have to start in second gear. The only tranny mods i have are pentosin mtf 2 fluid and mtech shift springs. Is this a thing that happens? This is my first mt, but it really wasnt ever doing this when the car was still a baby, im at about 26k miles now btw. This happens maybe once or twice a week now and if it gets worse ill be a bit nervous. Hopefully this is completely user error and im just an idiot. let me know what is happening!?

I have had this happen on multiple cars. sometimes the gears are lined up that its a pain to try to get it in correctly. try to cycle through some other gears and try to go back into 1st.

Did this occur BEFORE the spring install? That would be my first consideration......not sure how many other people have installed the springs yet, but I had them on my short list of things to do.

absolutely it did, and from my very limited understanding the springs would only make it "springier" so it should be easier to get into first.

This should solve your issue:
If you are stopped and it feels like it isnt into 1st all the way, keep pressure on pushing it into first, then slowly and gently let the clutch out until you feel the clutch start to grab (without throttle input). it should drop right into 1st gear without any issue. Edit: same goes for reverse gear, if it feels like it won't go in. this isn't an issue with the transmission, it is very common on all MT cars |

like the post above slowly let the clutch out and it will slide into gear or what has worked for me on other MT if it happens all the time is drop it into 2nd then it should go right into first.

What speed are you trying to slip into 1st? From stop or downshift? I find that I have resistance getting into first anything above 10Kph

really you should never down shift into first unless you are at less than 10kmh (8mph) and coming to a stop. first is not designed as a gear to down shift into |
