Stopped at a light, shift to neutral. Light turns green, won't shift into 1st, usually getting stuck halfway through. Solution is to go back to neutral, clutch in, and try again. Last edited by radroach; 01-08-2014 at 08:56 PM. |

Suggestion (for those who still have the problem): Clutch pedal in, hold for count of two, shift into second, then immediately up into first. One may not have the need for the two-count.

Everybody in here has recommendations on a routine to get into first: to depress the clutch, when to rev, shift into another gear first, etc. Fact is if I have to do a whole series of things every single time I want to shift into first then there's a problem that needs to be addressed. I don't want a routine to get into first gear in stop and go traffic everyday. Does anybody know why I can't get into first? In my case I can't get into first, second, third, or any gear. It doesn't matter if I rev, hold in the clutch, or pump the clutch. Eventually the only way for me to get into gear is to shove it in with serious force.

So I had the same issues as the OP: When I came to a stop and left it in neutral I could not get back into gear. I wouldn't be able to get into any gear unless I jammed it in with hard force, usually into third gear, and then I could shift into first. The only way I could get into first gear reliably was by shifting into first gear as I came to a stop at about 2mph.
Because I couldn't get into any gear it didn't make sense that it was the 1st gear syncro. I assumed it was a failed clutch. I have an aftermarket ACT clutch and flywheel. I had them taken out and there was uneven wear on the flywheel which makes me think it was a bad clutch. ACT covered the clutch under warranty and replaced it. After installing a new clutch and flywheel the problem is gone. Not sure if this applies to stock cars but if the symptoms are the same I'd look into it being a bad clutch.

Here's a video of the sounds coming from my bell housing when I depress the clutch pedal in my car. I'm going to take it next Thursday to have it looked it. It helps to send a video to the service advisor of any problems you have with the car before coming in. |

Has anyone pin pointed a solution that didnt involve replacing the clutch and flywheel? or is a whole clutch replacement the only solution?
My BRZ is having the same problem. I do have an aftermarket 6 puck clutch with light flywheel, and its got to a point where this happens every day. Last edited by jamesw1301; 05-25-2017 at 10:36 AM. |

This post and the previous one are so dumb that they should be deleted so others won't be confused. There are numerous reasons you want to go to 1st w/o stopping. If you have to go first after complete stops, you will drive like idiots or grandma in heavy traffic. Just need to make sure to rev match and gently push the shifter into 1st. That is all.

1. Go neutral gear 2. DON'T touch clutch pedal. 3. REV 4. Clutch in and push the shifter into the appropriate gear. 5. Still clutch in and REV 6. Clutch out With syncros, 1-3 can be skipped if you want for most gears. |
