I asked about this once before long ago and in a faraway place. My car has basically no first gear, I at this point assume it is the synchros. The car has a new clutch and clutch cable. I worked on the shifter alignment some and all the other gears shift fine.
First is almost impossible to engage, except at a very slow rolling speed. Stopped or downshifting to first while moving don't work. It also quite frequently pops out of first when releasing the clutch. Is replacing the 1st gear synchros something that a fairly novice home mechanic can accomplish in a reasonable time. This is the one project that has to get done for spring, it definitely takes away from driving enjoyment. |

Sorry I didnt get back sooner.
You can do first gear in your driveway with normal hand tools. I havent read the PP article (partially because they scare me) but first gear sliders are not cheap (like 245$ or so on a good day). KenH, We may have some nomenclature problems. I called them dog teeth (they do press onto the gears and are the same for 1st-5th) This is what it will look like when you pull the back cover off. The little tiny gear at the top is 1st gear along with the larger one below it. The slider is connected to the steel shiny shaft with the bonze looking shift fork attached to it. |
