quote: i sometimes have to do that with mine, think its probably your linkage, cos the first couple of gears are made to mesh easier i think. something mechanical is out of line i wud say | |

Sounds like a meshing problem where the gear being selected will not engage untill the gears meshed(aligned) properly | |

Again, don't think so. You could have trouble getting into gear. Then when you get it in would have no problems. Could drive it for an hour, then turn off the ignition and you would again have trouble getting into gear! :( | |

Gear selection is mechanical, nothing electrical about it. | |

But it only has problem selecting 1st from the first time you start up the engine. When you have selected 1st and the engine is running you can get every other gear as easy as anything. Don't think it could be a problem with the gear linkages. | |

The ECU has no barring on gear selection! | |

This has been happening regulary since Sunday. Start up the engine go to select gear and won't go in. Wont select any gear. Turn off engine and restart and still same problem. After about 5 on and off's of the ignition it lets me select 1st gear and then its fine again getting into every gear until the engine is switched off again. The only other way I have managed is to turn off the engine then select 1st gear then drive off that way when the engine is started in gear. |
