Finding 1st And 2nd (manual)

[inflames]

hello everyone. Does anyone else have problems finding 1st or 2nd, when droping down gears? Over the last few days i have started to notices it alot when iv been slowing down coming up to a junction or at a round about, engine braking, that i havent been able to find 1st or 2nd. I spoke to a one of my friends he had a is200 sport a fews ago and said that he had the same trouble.

Is this just a common Characteristic of the manual gear box or a can it be something wronge?

Dont worry guys iv just answered my own question. I found it in another section of the forum and now that i think about it a bit more it is when its cold or the 1st couple of miles that it plays up. Just glad to find out that its just a common characteristic of the car.

You'll get used to it - i've had to learn that you have to drive the car to the changes that happen as it warms up. Its part of the characteristics and yeah although it can be hard and annoying to get used to its what makes it your car!

perfectly normal bud.... if youve got a lexus which changes from 1st to 2nd gear without any difficulty when its cold then you know you have a problem lol
