Since I've had my car (2020), it's always had a tendency to go from first straight up to reverse when shifting. Especially when cold. I've done all bushings from the firewall back, but I still have to be very careful when shifting from first to second. Shift from first requires a push out of first to let the shifter try to center, then carefully go up to second.
I haven't made any improvements to the shifter at the cabin. Are there similar bushings or a "centering spring" or something under the shifter than can be changed? All the focus seems to be on the firewall back, but I wondered if there is anything to prevent my reverse kiss tendencies at the shifter instead (besides the shiftee - me). Thanks. |

How many miles are on the car? There's a spring loaded mechanism below the stick that "prevents" this. This may be worn out.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) There is supposed to be a spring that produces first-reverse lockout. With that said, after driving a more standard pattern car I worry a lot about reving the motor and then when the light turns green speeding gracefully into the honking car behind me. Perhaps the backup lights provide a brief warning. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
