Hi everyone.
(1974 1.8) So, I've noticed over the past couple weeks that slowly 1st gear and reverse are becoming harder to get into without it grinding a little. I'm wondering if something is just out of alignment? Ideas? Thanks! Mike |

Just to add, this happens a lot and the easy thing to try first is to Shift to 2nd before shifting down to 1st which usually helps stop the grinding. Also, before coming to a stop such as when coming to a full stop at a red light, down gear to 2nd and with the clutch peddle still depressed then shift down to first and keep the clutch peddle depressed until ready to continue driving. Not the best fix but easiest thing to do with out making a mechanical adjustment. I do this and found the problem with the grinding actually stopped after a while?
