Well like i said,
It slotted in fine when the car was warmed up
and this problem only occured recently possibly due to my transmission oil ageing day by day.
I was told by the mechanic upon inspection when I first got the car to change the transmission fluid. I just never had the chance to.
So Hopefully it isnt a reoccuring problem like yours DUST
You are experiencing a tooth on tooth situation in 1st and reverse. For that, just slot it into 2nd or 4th gear and then go back into 1st. It'll go in no problems. :) It happens to the Euros as well once in a while.Quote:

Nope, it's not the clutch's fault.
Replacing the gearbox? Although I can imagine how costly that would be!
If you find that you can't get it into 1st or reverse, just put it into 2nd or 4th and then try again and get back into 1st. :) That's all you need.
Kinda annoying though isn't it?
Say you're at the traffic lights and come green, you take several seconds to go into gear! *beep beep beep*
It sure has happened to me more than once.
Right now I seem to have to apply a lot of force going into third...syncro problem I assume.
When shifting from 2nd to 3rd while moving? If an MTF change doesn't help, then yeah, the synchro on that gear is wearing out.
use some quality gearbox oil.. bleed the clutch line again...see if that helps
Aw, I was ment to get the fluids changed today, but I woke up late and my mechanic got booked ):
He said tomorrow should be good @ 12PM.
Should I do a DIY?
Unless you know how to, probably better to leave it to them to bleed it.
As in, I'll make a DIY with my mechanic while he's changing it for me (:
Besides I think its a good idea so i can go back to it for reference
