I'm unable to get into first gear without forcing it in unless the car has a little momentum. Reverse selection is a hell of a grind to get in also. 2nd to 5th are as smooth as silk.
All of the slector bushings were new just 2 years ago. Same for the clutch which has done less than 2000 miles. Any tips on what to look for? |

There are a few youtube channels that really get into the workings and how to repair and fix the oem transmissions. I don't know why I watch all of them as I have a 6spd, but the precision and knowledge of these mechanics and there passion for originality is awesome. I would suggest maybe reaching out to this guy. Perhaps he is a member here? |
