ayaw magshift from 1st gear...

[wildcatz]

guys, patulong naman po (ulit... )
last saturday while parking napansin ko ayaw magshift ng gear ko from 1st to neutral. as in todo tapak na ko sa clutch ayaw talaga magmove ng kambyo, steady lang talaga sya sa 1st gear. so what i did was i just turned off the engine, and dun lang sya nagshift. experienced it again later in the afternoon, from 1st gear to higher gears o kahit sa neutral, it wont budge. i didnt know what else to do but to just turn the engine off again. medyo nagwworry lang ako baka abutan ako ng ganitong problema while i'm on the major highways, buti nagppark lang ako in both instances.
there were instances before na hirap din ako magshift from 1st to 2nd gear, pero i was thinking na baka d ko lang naapakan ng mabuti yung clutch kasi eventually mag-eengage din naman sya. also pag inaapakan ko yung clutch may parang hissing sound e, or something like, "whheeeeng..." hehe, at least parang ganon
any inputs would be greatly appreciated, lalo ng kagaya ko na wala masyado alam when it comes to these things. better din kasi na may idea na ko bago ko dalhin sa pwedeng mag-ayos, at least d ako madedenggoy

usually bushing yan ng tranny...

My 50 cents...Your clutch may be not disengaging all the way or your sync. are gone in your tranny.

check the clutch master and slave muna. could be problems with them. if wala then have the transmission pulled down and check everything there

[wildcatz]

can it wait kaya sir o i should immediately have it repaired? delikado po ba to? i really don't have much free time kasi this week, medyo kabado naman ako when driving it around, although i didn't experience this problem when i used the car this morning

[nicolodeon]

IMO, have it repaired ASAP. Those kinds of problems usually worsen the more you use your vehicle.

Have the clutch cable adjusted first. Kung di makuha, you may need to have the transmission pulled out baka release bearing, clutch plate / clutch disk na if the clutch master & slave are functioning well as mentioned by sir speedyfix and you have to do it the earliest time possible. Baka lumaki pa problema car mo.

san po kaya maganda ipa-check ganitong problem? any recommended repair shops? medyo paling kasi ako when it comes to choosing shops (many experiences with different branches of rapide and zafra ) to have my car fixed kaya ilang beses na din ako naloko

whay kind of car? column or floor shift?

[afrasay]

temporary solution is to start from 2nd.

[jaeger]

that happened to me a long, long time ago when i still had my '93 corolla xe - clutch master and slave yung problem. pagpasok sa first gear, di na matanggal sa first at di maibalik sa neutral.

[umzzzzz]

ayus a...never thought of that...oo nga naman...kesa naman you'll get stuck when putting your shift stick on first gear. asteg...

[artpogi]

hmmm... the "wheeeng" sound is kinda worrying, my friend-mechanic is overhauling a tranny right now which has a similar symptom (wheeeng sound).

I hope in your case it's not that bad. Start with the cheapest solution muna, clutch bleed and replace your transmission oil, if the problem persist, time to have your clutch components checked, baka worn out na.

if after having the clutch components replaced and the problem is still there, then that could be a transmission problem na.

HTH

the main reason the overhaul a manual tranny is when the synchros or gears go. this could be another reason that the gear is stuck pero in this case i highly doubt it.
