Hello all, I 'm having a small issue with my first gear, not sure if this is a common problem. I recently replaced my tranny, cables, and shifter. Every gear is perfect except first. One of three things happens when i put it in first from stopped.. 1. it goes in nicely 2. as im motioning to put it in, I feel the gears trying to line up and it makes a brrrr sound as it slows down and gets in 3. i think its in gear then as I start to let off the clutch it grinds and pops out any ideas? thanks,

Same thing happens to me so I would love to hear the answer.
In the past two cars I have driven number 2 has always happened, so I assume that you would always need to be stopped to put it in 1st and that it was some sort of a safety.

My understanding was that you can put it into first at slower speeds, but the whole popping out thing doesn't sound good. After forcing my car into first when I had clutch engagement problems, it would pop out of 1st on a downgrade, like going into my underground garage. Unless the tranny is new, I'd say something is worn out or you need to adjust your clutch pedal. Newbie commenting here, so take it with a grain of salt.

it feels like its not getting in all the way. Is that what she said? lol One thing I can tell you from being in a proffession that requires me to drive all types of vehicles...DSM's don't shift like ANYTHING else I've ever driven. Hope you get it fixed summer is just about here. And for clarification (if it's really necessary), he doesn't mean this in a good way. (Well, that's assuming you believe smooth shifts to be 'good'). These things are notchy by nature...ain't no if's and's or but's about it!

LOL I don't know man, I love my car, and I love the way it drives, but I think I may be due for some rtm solid base shifter bushings or possibly the urethane ones under the hood. 105,000miles on her and shifts are smooth but I'm starting to feel a bit of play left and right while in gear. like, 1/8th of an inch..
