Coolbs7 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hey, I have an 05 LGT, and at times it can be very difficult to throw it into gear. And whenever I rip it in first gear, it's nearly impossible to hit it into 2nd. Any suggestions on what could be the problem, other than purchasing a new clutch? Everything else is in working order, just very hard to put my car into gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARCruiser Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I had a similar problem with my car that ended up getting rapidly worse (was like you describe and then I pulled up to a stop light and it wouldn't go back in gear) and ended with me having to have the syncros for 1 and 2 as well as the 1-2 selector fork replaced. Not a cheap fix but definitely solved the problem. I'll be honest and say I don't know enough about the transmissions to make an accurate diagnosis beyond what I experienced, though.

I Donated Too sigmafour Posted February 22, 2013 I Donated Too Share Posted February 22, 2013 How's your hydraulic clutch system OP? Checkthe fluid level, and when did you last flush it and put fresh brake fluid in and bleed it for air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolbs7 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks for the input. And sigmafour im not sure if that would be the cause of the problem because the more I drive to worse it getsif it was the fluids then it would be constantly bad not progressively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexi Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Just did a lot of research on this out of boredom and it looks like sigmafour has the right idea. It looks like there could be a number of things causing this problem, but its most likely caused by your clutch hydraulics. As sigmafour suggested, I would probably flush your clutch fluid and/or ensure that there is no air in the line. If that doesn't fix it, look into your clutch master and slave cylinders.

Coolbs7 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Thanks for the help guys. I'll try doing a flush and If that doesn't work ill try your method out, SARcruiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted February 24, 2013 I Donated Too Share Posted February 24, 2013 indeed. You likely have a bad MC or SC - I just wanted you to look in the right place. Progressively worse is exactly what should zero you in on those components, they are drawing in air and leaking fluid - issue gets worse the more you use it...
