#1: gear change aint smooth.. Author: bisphenol-a, Location: AntarcticaPosted: Sat May 14, 2011 1:22 pm ---- what am i looking to change?
im not sure if its the gear box or whatever component i should be looking to change.
but moving up from low gears 1,2,3, its rather 'rocky'. its not stiff, doesnt make any grinding noise. just a audible deep gear changing sound but i think thats normal. its just difficult to change up the first 3 gears quickly and efficiently. not sure if its a psychological thing, but it improves quites a bit when the car is all warmed up. fresh start from cold is really irritating to use.
it just does not slide very nicely or smoothly as compared when i go from 3 to 4.
smoothest from 4-5.
would changing a gear box to a brand new one give me that smooth and maybe quieter gear change? or am i looking at the wrong part?

#7: Re: gear change aint smooth.. Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat May 14, 2011 1:54 pm ---- figure this one out...
I can only change gear 1 smoothly when the car stops??
otherwise I have to force it with a bit of pressure.
also can this contribute to a rattling exhaust?
#8: Re: gear change aint smooth.. Author: bisphenol-a, Location: AntarcticaPosted: Sat May 14, 2011 2:18 pm ---- i was thinking it was changed the last servicing because it was worse before i brought it there then when i got it back it was better. but not the best.
that was in february.

Maybe one of your engine mounts are on its way out.
