my old gearbox did that, its nothing major atm... however when you drive slow in first gear in a carpark, and it pops out, or if ur to the point where u gotta hold the shifter so that it doesnt pop out without using the clutch or if it makes scraping noises in the actual box itself, or sudders when u take off, or even performance loss, then be worried
it could be hot spots on ur flywheel perhaps?
i recon u have about 6-8 months of driving before u need to replace/rebuild ur gbox. depending on how u drive. mine started of the same way urs did, and after 8 months iv had to buy another gearbox, in that time i've manage to stuff up my synchro (1-2), centre bearing, thrust bearing and rear main seal... rebuild is around $1200 - $1400 but ur lucky, u can find a g/box for about $600 - $900 (max)
tranny code for your car is S4O - xxxxxxx
i suggest get it checked out, it wouldnt hurt, that way u have peace of mind about ur tranny.
Thanks for the idea's guys, i was thinking it was a possible gearbox problem. it's really not that bad at the moment.
The gears don't pop out or grind in any gear although there is a slight wine in 1st,2nd and a bit in 3rd is this normal for a front wheel drive manual, it's not loud or anything but is there?
The lady that owned it before me was like mid 30's and owned it from new and i can't see her having thrashed it.
Tranny oil was just replaced also.
could it be the engine moving cause somtimes when i hit the clutch to change up from 3rd it feels like the engine moves back into position or somthing when the load is released.
check ya TPS (Throttle Position Sensor)??
could be that maybe? :s
ANOTHER fact -
IT could be one or some of your engine mounts which are damaged - lettign the engine move much more than usual - AND can cause problems with shift libnkage and general driving - since the entire engine pivots much more, affectign the transmission etc....My car needs this too - requires $150 including parts+ labour. . .
I have the same problem..
to solve it i just put the clutch in a little bit or all the way...
i think it's because the engine is getting not enough revs.. that's all
for example .. back in the day when i first learnt to drive manual, and was scared of stalling... the instructor showed me that the car won't stall unless you apply the brake (somthing along the lines of that)
he told me to just let the car gradually decelrate on a straight road and notice that the car when it's near loosing revs will still keep struggling to keep the engine going (which was like hopping) but won't stall
Since i've had the car, it has always done that at very low revs (carparks especially). I've gone about 30,000k's with the car and it's still going strong.
Although now when i change fast into 4th gear ... the stick has poped out ( as in i didn't pull the stick all the way into gear). But that could be just retarded gear changing
I have a freshly rebuilt gearbox and get this problem. It's my engine mounts. Not saying that is the case for you but I'll be looking for some stronger aftermarket ones (will have to sacrifice comfort from those extra vibrations, but that's life).
