car: 06 6-speed 19,500 miles.

over the past 3-4 weeks I've noticed that at certain times it's difficult to shift out of 1st gear. it almost feels like the shifter is stuck. so I have to apply more pressure to get it to come out of 1st gear.

the main problem with this is that sometimes I have to use so much force that I almost slam it into second gear. every once in awhile I'll have a similar issue going from 2nd to 3rd.

I'm going to try to get to the dealership next week sometime, but I have this feeling that they're going to say I'm shifting wrong.

has anyone else had a similar problem?

 

No problems here. 06 6MT ~21,000 miles.

 

no problem with my 06 6spd, 35,500 miles. smooth shifting. (knock-on-wood).

 

If you have the opportunity you might want to change the transmission oil and strain the old oil for any bits of metal. It should not behave like that at all.

 

Happens to me all the time. Took it the dealer and of course they can't reproduce it.

 

I was planning on getting that done around august when I'll have had it for 24 months.


I've set up my appointment for next week and I expect to hear something similar.

 

I notice this too, but only in the first two or so minutes of driving. It seems to do that when the transmission has not warmed up yet. Have you noticed that, or is it every time, regardless of how warmed-up your car is?

 

My good friend is a acura service manager. He advised me to get the Mt transmission oil changed every three years. He knows the kind of driving I do. My 06, bought new 11/17/06, is almost at 36,000 miles now.

 

yes I think it normally is in the first couple of minutes. I rarely drive longer than 15-20 minutes at a time.


yeah I was holding off on doing it. I bought new 7-06 and now have 19,6xx miles. so I don't think it's quite due yet. but I normally change my trans fluid every 25-30k miles.
