    2017 JMC Vigus having difficulties going into second gear
    Answered by David Morley · 12 Jun 2024

    You could be dealing with a gear-selector mechanism that is not adjusted properly. Or, you might be looking at worn synchromesh rings or some other wear inside the gearbox. The first problem is an easy one to fix, the second requires surgery on the innards of the transmission itself. Also, even though you’ve replaced the clutch, is it adjusted correctly?

    The problem shows up when the transmission is cold because that’s when the oil inside it is thickest. As the transmission warms up the oil flows a bit more easily and lubricates better, making everything slip together with less effort. A lot of people simply learn to live with a stubborn gearshift first thing in the morning, but if the cause of this is worn components, they aren’t going to fix themselves and will get gradually worse.
