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. |

Have you tried adjusting the shifter? If it is currently set where you do not need to push what is called the "stop plate" (mentioned by the others, #2 in diagram) by a lot to get in first gear, then it may be too easy to get into reverse too? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
#2, 901.424.017.00 could be worn out. This spring loaded part can wear out over time, especially if there is no lubrication. There could also be something malfunctioning with the springs too. Sometimes if the stop plate is worn out, the shifter lever is also worn out where it contacts the plate. You may want to investigate in there and assess the condition, especially if you have taken care of all the other bushings, time to complete the job. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
