I have a Nissan N16 car with a 5 speed manual gearbox. I have a issue with its shift. When I try to shift into 1st gear, it is very hard to put it in - but not in to other gears. I have to push harder to shift to 1st. not smooth.

However, sometimes it works smoothly. I have tried pressing the clutch and different levels but nothing makes any difference.
Why does this happen?

  • Agreed with the above. Either maladjusted clutch or the synchro. Check out the top two answers in the linked post. – Jason C Aug 04 '16 at 14:51
  • @mibseLucifer not the grinding. I know grinding but this is different. It is something like stick is not move to 1st gear position as there is something obstructing its path – Milan Aug 04 '16 at 15:38
  • @Milan Is it hard to go in when you are stopped also? Is it easier when you shut off the vehicle? – rpmerf Aug 04 '16 at 18:34
