Manual Transmission

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Symptoms Possible cause Corrective action
1. Gears are difficult to intermesh.
NOTE: The cause for difficulty in shifting gears can be classified into two types: One is a defective gear shift system and the other is defective transmission. However, if the operation is heavy and engagement of the gears is difficult, a defective clutch disengagement may also be responsible. Check whether the clutch is correctly functioning, before checking the gear shift system and transmission.
