Graham1984 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have noticed lately when going from 1st to 2nd on my 5speed NA the gear change doesn't feel all that smooth at times almost like a knock feeling in the gear stick but if I take my time it goes in smoothly enough, If I drop down from 3rd to 2nd I don't get that feeling at all. Every other gear change feels fine so wonder if it is just me being a spanner changing gears at times although if there is a problem I would rather sort it out asap.

SupraDan24 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Shifter bushes my friend. They wear over time and 2nd gear is always the worst effected. Whifbitz so some nice alloy ones for a few quid The other thing to check is too lift up the dash panel around the gear stick, lift up the rubber gator around the stick (remove 4 bolts) and check that the 4 bolts that are underneath are still there and not blocking the gear stick from moving correctly. Its worth ruling that one out first as it only takes 10mins. Edited January 25, 2012 by SupraDan24 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
