Standard Transmission Problem
|
M & T Benne
I hope some one can offer sugestions what could be wrong with my
transmission. On cold mornings, usually below freezing, the transmission will not shift into second gear when moving. If I roll to a complete stop it will go into second no problem. After driving a few minutes the transmission will shift normally. The shifting linkage has been adjusted twice with no improvement. Any Ideas? Tobi |

Subject: [ev_update] Re: Standard Transmission Problem There is a bushing in the shift linkage that can cause bad stuff. My 93 Ev was starting to have shifting problems and gear clash noise when shifting. Then one day the bushing failed and lost many gears. A new bushing fixed this and really improved the other shifting problems ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Accurate impartial advice on everything from laptops to tablesaws. -- Create a poll/survey for your group! -- |

On high mileage transmissions, the second gear syncro is usually the first

to show signs of wear. This is because the second gear syncro is use most often. The reason it occurs at cold temperatures, is because the oil viscosity is high. This provides more resistance to the syncros ability to "spin" up the main shaft of the transmission. The oil actually warms up in about ten miles or so, due to friction and heat transfer form the engine. There is nothing cheap that can be done to repair this. Although synthetic gear box oil might help. If however it the same problem starts to appear on all gears, and gets progressively worse, than it is a sign of a hydraulic leak, in the clutch system. You will notice that the in brake fluid reservoir starts to drop. The way it is designed will cause the clutch to stop working completely before it starts to affect the brakes. Hope that helps! -----Original Message-----
