Hard to select gears from neutral
Posted: Sun Nov 15, 2009 7:52 am
hi
when the car is warmed up it gets very hard to selected 1st, 2nd (and often 3rd) gear from neutral. there is no grinding sound in the box. the problems occour only when the car stand still and is warm. if this problem occours and i switch off the motor there is no problem to select the gears. also if the car is on the move theres is no problems. when the box is in this bad mood there is almost impossible to select reverse without grinding, this i the only time the box grinds.
i recently changed the transmission fluid without any progress. the linkage and the gearbox mountings has been checked by a alfa workshop and the problem isnt there.
the clutch hasnt been checked, but it works normally. the box has just been running 38000km.
have been searching on diffrent forums and i cant find anyone with a similar problem. would be nice with some clues what it could be.
