Hi.
i have always belived that in my car, it is not possible to shift first gear if you are moving. It is impossible to shift even at 5- 10Km/Hour speed. Since i am generally in traffic jams, i have to shift to first gear very frequently.
But today i tested 2 different cars of the same model, and i was able to shift to first gear even when i was driving at 50Km/hour.
In my car, it is even difficult (but possible) to shift to second gear when going at 40Km/H speed.
In this case, the first thing that comes to a mind is the synchronizers. But they are not sold as a spare part in my country. so instead, it would be cheaper to buy an used transmission. (transmission and labor work would cost about 150$ which is ok for me)
But some mechanics told that it can also be due to bad pressure plate.
Can you please tell me if any thing else cause hard shifting on move other than synchronisers ?
We tried to adjust pedal-transmission connection. both from under the padal and by lengthening slave cylinder rod,
But none helped.
Regards
