When i tried to downshift from 3rd gear the car would not let me go into 2nd a few minutes ago. It will let me go in if i put it in 1st gear first then try or if the car is not moving. Could this be the shift cables?!? Any help please.
Hmm well i did just put in a 3.6L motor a few months ago.. I've been reading a lot that shift cable and clips come loose, that doesnt seem the culprit with it just being hard to go into 2nd from another gear other than 1st?? Thanks for the inputs.
Few more questions to...did it do this only once or is it all the time now? Does it grind as well or simply not go into gear? I'm still leaning torward syncro or like SD said possible a failed motor mount. As you suspected, it doesn't sound like a cable issue but it might be worth checking and adjusting to see if that helps before you take it in to a shop.
Drove it again this morning and it still wont go into 2nd without pushing slightly towards 1st then itll go in. Ever since i had the car it sometimes slightly grinded going into 2nd if i didnt slowly shift or fully engage the clutch. If the synco is going bad is that costly to fix??
Car will not go into 2nd gear?!??!
You have a 6 speed? They are notorious for 2nd gear issues.
