Fiesta-oli Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Was driving home today when all of a sudden i couldn't get into first gear. i managed to get it in with a bit of force and got home. When i go home i realized that first gear was fine when the engine was off but as soon as i start the engine up again, the same problem appears. Im driving a Fiesta 1.25 z tech and wondered if anyone could help me with the problem i have only had the car a few days :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyb Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 we'll assume the car was stationary, so did you take you foot off the clutch, gear into neutral then try again? Sounds silly I know but it will often solve something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irononreverse Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 First gear isn't synchromeshed. I've found I need to be traveliing very slowly, perhaps 5-8mph to be able to shift down into first from 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
