Question about my 1st gear - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My first gear is weird. When I'm at a standstill, it's really hard to put it into 1st gear. I push the clutch all the way in and I sometimes have to push the stick hard to get it into first.

If I'm at a low speed roll, I can put it into first with ease.

All the other gears are fine and easy to get into. The only problem is getting into 1st at a standstill. I can do it, but it just takes extra force. What do you think the problem is guys? My 1st gear isn't going to die soon is it?

clutch it not disengaging fully is my guess.

Once I was at the track and I almost could not put the car in gear at a standstill. I later found out most of the day I was driving without any movement in the clutch pedal at all.

You could try bleeding your clutch pedal but its not the easiest thing in the world to do with that stupid buffer loop in the line. You're in the bay area so maybe goto a meet sometime and find someone to help
