Very helpful thank you!!

Thank you

I've got an issue with a Corolla IM 2017, bought it with 20,000 miles i've put 3000 miles on it in the last 2 years. - i cannot do gasless starts - where it bites and then i get on the gas - 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 tend to be rough - i actually have to get back on the gas and slip the clutch to smooth out the transition * which i know isn't good but driving it as-is is so cringy. - in every standard i've driven there is a graduation of how much clutch you can give a car to drive it smoothly. my corolla feels like an on/off switch , it tends to struggle to grab a gear and its like boom i get it. it makes no weird noises, the clutch doesn't slip in gear. - i almost wonder if it has air in the clutchline? my clutch also is kinda hard for a car its very similar to a 96 s10 i used to have- however without the confident clutch grab. any help or suggestions would be so awesome currently my car has made a monkey out of anyone who's driven it guys with 20-30 years of manual experiance and professional drivers. my local shop just says " t hats how they are " which he probably a doesn't know or b doesn't want to mess with it.

Hey man, I’m Brayden from Australia I have a problem with 4x4 it has a concentric slave cylinder as the throw out bearing I can select any gears at all when the cars running but once she’s turned off I can select all gears ps I just out a brand new clutch in no kms on it at all

Yes thanks

Helpful and educational. I did exactly what you suggested as my car was jumping when I started in gear and would not shift into gear, so I replaced the cluth kit but it still will not shift into gear snd the pedal still on the floor. Its not getting enough hydraulic snd its not leaking any brake fluid, any suggestions?

Cool. You helped me find out I'm dealing with an issue with the shift linkage. I can ONLY shift into 1st & 5th when my car is off. For reference: '03.5 MazdaSpeed Protegé. THANKS, MAN! 👊🏼🫵🏼

Hi, my car first gear hard to select even if car is on or off. Any idea?

I have f150 . An i cant get 1st or secong gear but 3 4th an reverse yes??

Super helpful video! My car shifts into gear fine when turned off. Clutch pops out as usual. However when the car is running, I can’t get it to shift into gear *at all*. If I shift into gear while off then turn the car on, it moves just fine, as if I’m taking off in first gear normally (obviously I can’t change to any other gear.)

شكرا

my car goes into every gear besides 1st, weather it’s on or off first gear feels like it’s getting blocked or if the clutch isn’t engaging just sorta grinds and won’t go into the gear ⚙️ any advice? clutch pedal is good new clutch as well as clutch slave cylinder, before i do remember i could shift through all gears fine

We are having this issue where when the car is on it fights on moving past first gear we can run it in low gears when off it goes through all of them. Our mechanic is trying to get us to buy a new transmission. We got the clutch fixed by them but we got the car back with MORE issues. He says he found a trans about to quote “be thrown away” for 300 he wants to replace our trans with. But he won’t pull out the trans to inspect it first. But our car does exactly this and the clutch drops to the floor when we try to shift to high.

OK, my issue is that when off the shift are smooth, no issues. But when driving and i take first gear to 2500 rpm, getting it into second gear can be difficult at times. I have even heard grinding. Also my gearbox rattles when i increase the revs.

I own a bmw z3 and i had an oem valeo clutch kit installed then 4 months later i was on the highway i tried to shift INTO 5th gear; grinded gears then the car wasnt able to shift into to gear…p.s once i pulled over i put into first started the car and drove home but i had to rev my rpm and shift HARD to get it home. Haven’t drove it since..im trying to figure out the problem

Hey man, what does it mean if im in 5th gear and the car doesnt go faster than 70mhp?

Hi What is the issue if the all gears are hard without clutch press (engine off) But when you put in gear like you just put in 6th gear very hard After N and 6 again is being easy until you not put in 5th gear If you wanna take 6th gear from 5th Its gonna be hard again Any idea?

I think my 2nd gear synchro is going out it works fine just when I try doing a pull and banging into 2nd it locks me out or grinds

I have a similar problem with my A5, it won't go into gear when it's cold outside. It goes into gear when engine is off without needing to press the clutch, but once the engine is running and it's cold, it won't go into gear from the first try. It has a lot of resistance but if I try for a second time it goes without any problem, only the first time it's doing this. Basically, I hold the clutch to the ground, try to get it into 1st gear for the first time, it won't let me, I put it into neutral (with clutch still pressed), and try again and it works. If I release the clutch and try again, it won't let me. What do you think it might cause this? Also, the oil is new, I changed it 12k km ago.

My 2004 vw jetta mt made a snap noise on the driver tire side when I shifted to 2nd, after that it just revved won’t drive in all gears. I dont know what it is it’s just sitting in a lot :/ been told it could just be an axel and pulled the transmission seal and made a little trans oil leak, but people have been saying it sounds like the trans is fucked. Any help?

I have slight problem while shifting into first gear. I feel some resistance. Sometimes it's minor, sometimes if feels even more annoying. I noticed that if I hold clutch down for a little bit it mostly shifts better. Also if I press down the clutch, shift into first, still hold the clutch, shift into neutral and then back to first it shifts smoothly the second time. Not sure about others gears, even if there is some slight resistance it's almost unnoticeable. When motor is off shifting is easy and seems fine. What might be the issue?

My 06 VW Jetta TDI shifts fine when accelerating, but when I try to downshift, it is really hard to get into gear.

My dad said he bought a cheaper clutch 1 or 2 years ago and now we are experiencing difficulties in shifting gears ( from neutral to first gear when the engine is on) and we really need help

Air in the system?

SuperHelpful video. Congrats!!!! I have a brand new audi a3 8y (2023) 1.5L 150ps 6-gear manual gearbox with only 1620km. Believe me, I have only driven it 10 days from the day I bought it. It;s in warranty ofc, its 40 days car only. From the first day I bought it, I felt 3-4 times 2nd gear engaged, but with shorter travel of the lever. 4-5 times, after cold start, I have experienced 1st gear and reverse not engaging with 1st try. Especially the rear gear one day, at 1st try nothing, at 2nd nothing at 3rd time I heard the sound beep of parking sensors activated, and I had the feeling that the rear gear is engaged, but when I try to drive back with the rear gear, there was a scraping noise (gear not engaged), perhaps from the clutch disk. At the following try rear gear engaged well and through my driving time. Is it normal? Maybe because lever and gearbox is brand new and too tight and not worked too much? Or maybe an issue to refer to my audi Dealership(i will refer it for sure). Thanks. I am waiting for your response.

Hi i cant engage R, 1 or 2, on my 2015 mini 1.5d cooper! Shifter was sloppy before, but useable, now none of those 3 gears (all to the LEFT) can be engaged! Is this a linkage issue? Cheers

I have a mustang gt 2004, and just recently it started giving me trouble going into first gear, like something is blocking it at a stop/red light. every other gear works fine and perfect, and the way I go around the issue is either let go off the clutch and back in and it goes into first smooth ! Or go to second gear than first ! Just asking for advice or if you would know the issue !

Hey man I just finished an engine swap and it went into gear on jack stands but as soon as I lowered the car it it locked me out any ideas?

I have a 2010 S5 6speed where I’m able to put it in an every gear except for reverse. Just got the slave cylinder done but it’s still occurring. Could it possibly be the master cylinder?

What If I can’t get into gear while the car is off ? With clutch pedal resistance

What if it makes a grinding noise when I put in first gear? Is just the first gear…i know there are loads of possibilities but from experience what you think it might be? (Peugeot partner)

Step 1: Check Fluid Step 2: Check clearance below boot (look at jeep design flaw) Step 3: Check shifter bushings below shifter Step 4: Stop abusing your throwout bearing and just swap your transmission out. Enjoy life.

Mine is hard to get into 1st and reverse when it’s off or on and has about a 2 inch play could that be my bushing?

I have an audi A4 2017 manual and have an issue going from 1st to second gear only . At first it was only an issue if revving above 2500 but now won't engage in 2nd gear at all. It's absolutely fine shifting down from 3rd and no other issues with any other gears. Any advice on what the problem could be? 😔

What is the cause of a rapid Boat motor noise Between each shift... When the clutch bites.... It's not super loud... It started after replacing the clutch with a Luk......

I am having the exact issue at the moment with my car. When the car is off the shifting is smooth and normal and as soon as it is ignition then very hard to shift. Showed to a mechanic but not sure... Says probably clutch worn out. If you could please advise.. thank you

Alright so the clutch kit it is… god damn it, the most expensive option

So you didnt mention anything about synchros?

You didn't mention how to tell if its just a shot transmission

What’s it mean if you can shift through all gears with the vehicle running without clutch and it still won’t move?… 😢😂

What if the engine runs but the transmission does not engage at all?

For me the gears will go in smooth while off but soon as its on it wont go in and when i try going into reverse it chirps. Also, i can start up the car while in gear and soon as i let go of the brake the car rolls forward even without taking my foot off clutch. I replaced clutch, whole kit. Also replaced slave cylinder. Any more ideas. I will attempt topping off trans fluid
