Unable to engage gears


Recommended Posts

Hello. I have a 2011 Chvrolet spark manual transmission. I am unable to change In to gear. Oddly it's fine when the engine is not running. As soon as you start the engine it's as if something is blocking the gear change. Won't go into first. It does however engage reverse. Oil is good. Does it have separate transmission fluid reservoir? Could this be syncromesh?

Hi, mine is 2010 manual. I too have a small problem. Sometimes it is difficult to engage into 1st or reverse. So service guy suggested if it make problem for 1st, try to engage into reverse and then back to 1st. Same for reverse. However its good for standstill. Hope this may work for you.

 

Upto my understanding there should not be problem due to running or turned off engine, since the gear shift is by wire, not hydraulic.
