First gear problem now...

Omes · 03-07-2007, 01:26 AM

So, recently my car has been acting up. It only has about 5000 miles on it. Whenever I shift from neutral to first gear when the car is only slightly moving (maybe 1-3MPH), I can sometimes feel a wobbling feeling parallel to the direction of shift travel. I am sure that I am completely on the clutch when I'm shifting yet this has started to happen. It's starting to get on my nerves since it has popped out on me a couple of times before without my knowing it (not fun finding that the car won't move when merging with traffic).

Has anyone had this problem before or have any clue as to why this is happening? I'm very conscious about using the clutch since I have issues with shifting into 2nd and 3rd gear as well. Now 1st gear is having problems and I'm getting really ticked off about this.

I think you should change your MTF....Try using amsoil or gm syncromesh , that should help you out with the troubles you are having.
