Manual gear stiffness

**bail** · August 24th, 2016 12:57 AM

Ive noticed some stiffness when i change gears especially if im on the road for like an hour already. But sometimes its really soft when its raining or if weather is cold. What could be the problem? 1997 Corolla gli 1.6 here.

At the transaxle end of the shifter cables, there are two quadrant bellcranks, each cable end have a square bushing. These bushings dry up over time. Relubricate with multipurpose grease.

How much labor for this type of diagnosis?

Have you replaced your tranny oil? What viscosity? Sounds like you need a tranny oil change (with the correct grade).

Case in point, Classic Mercedes Benz manual transmissions specify ATF (go ahead, google it ..

..). If the mechanic servicing it is clueless, then loads up on ordinary hypoid gear oil, the owner of the car will experience "maganit" shifting when first driving the car in the morning. As the transmission heats up and the oil thins out, normal shifting is experienced.

In your case, the tranny oil maybe good when cold, but thins way out when it heats up, thus you experiencing stiffness.

My 2 cents.

Good pm. Tanong lang ako ho ako ng subok na shop cavite area, taga imus po ako. Gusto ko sana ipacheck at ipaayos kung anong sira sa clutch/transmission ng sasakyan ko, ang ganit(mahigpit) tapakan ng clutch/hard shifting especially 1st gear, kapag reverse dahil nga din siguro ang ganit tapakan ng clutch hindi ko gaanong natatapakan minsan kaya tumutunog/nabibitin pag kagat sa reverse. Last major pms 45k km ko was this year march, hindi natingnan yung clutch/tranny dahil hindi ko din naipacheck(1st time sa casa/walang pang alam.)

See Victor the mechanic at Petron Bacoor. Maybe slave cluth cylinder/Repair kit replacement only.
