Hey guys,
I've been having a problem getting the first gear to engage recently, maybe the past 2000kms? It's on and off but I notice it only occurs in the afternoon/night, after the car is all warmed up and used after my morning commute. The car just doesn't seem like you want to get in gear.. It'll just start bucking/jerking/shaking as soon as it starts moving, kinda like it's going to stall.. Once this happens, I'd have to "try again"(pushing clutch all the way in, a bit of gas, slowly letting out) I do this until the gear engages properly.. It's quite a pain and very embarrassing, as sometimes I'd have to push the clutch in 3 or 4 times to try again until the first gear runs normally. It only happens in first gear, all other gears are perfectly fine.. Any one else had this problem before? Any help is appreciated, as I wanna get it fixed asap, but firstly, I need to know what it is; if I should DIY or take it to Jimmy, etc.
