Re: Gearbox problems
1st gear is pretty much for pulling away only. Gear box has a lock out to prevent it going into first if you are going too fast.
They only go into first when almost stationary.

Re: Gearbox problems
It could be a problem with the syncro mesh in the gearbox.... my last box did that, it's really annoying!

Re: Gearbox problems
Im with jordi on that one ive tried many of times to drop into first and it wont have it.. I know its not the same gear box but my fathers cavalier one has a similiar thing you cant put it straight into reverse you have to go into first then back into reverse.
