Hey guys...I own an 03 636 and for some reason I am having trouble shifting into first. The other day I left for work and pulled out of the driveway like I always do. Got to the stop sign and she wouldn't go back into first. I took off in second and got to another stop sign and it did go in first. I am now having this problem everyday. It goes in sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. I find it weird because when it goes into first I can still push down quite a bit on the shifter as if it was going to switch to another gear which it never did before. Any suggestions? |

best to try adjust it before stripping it as above , as if its dragging it will causee this problem , drag is the oposite to slip and means the clutch is not disengaging properly and can be caused by poor adjustment , stretched cable or a clutch fault , first 2 are quick and easy to look at and free |
