Hi all,
I have begun to experience weird behaviour with my transmission that I would like some opinions on. My issue is with 5th gear. As long as I downshift early, I have no issues going from 5th to 4th. If however, I press in the clutch and wait too long (low RPM's and low speed) the shifter doesn't want to come out of 5th. If I coast to a stop - no go. If I stop the engine, still no go. Seems to be locked there. The last time it did this I slowly let the clutch back out until the car started to move slightly, then re-pushed in the clutch and I was able to get it to shift out of 5th. None of the other gears do this. I don't want to pull too hard on the shifter for fear of breaking a cable.
CTN diesel trans with 520,000 km's and clutch has about 100,000 km's - it is a Sachs VR6 setup. Any ideas where to start? Don't really want to replace things I don't need to.
Thanks
