1st gear [difficult to engage after flood]

[sboogie]

just this evening i was driving in a heavy traffic because of a flood

the flood was only about a gutter high(5 to 6 inches maybe) and passed it with ease

but when i stopped at the stop light and started to put the gear in 1st gear i had a hard time putting it in in 1st gear cant get through

what do you think is the problem?

only came up after passing the flood

i had a hard time going home because of this with the traffic

by the way my vehicle is a hilander

Gutter deep and in a Highlander? I doubt if inabot yun tranny mo. Give it time to dry in case pinasok yun tranny and nabasa yun pressure plate mo.

I have the same prob with my 96 pajero. After driving into flooded street.It wont go into the first gear but it goes into the other gears.I doubt if it's related with the synchro because it won't even enter first gear even with the engine off. any ideas?
