Sounds like your lower end gear linkage is either broke, or about to break. Look for the gear shift box underneath your vehicle. You'll see a cable attached to it, and covering the cable at the far end, where it hooks up to the gear, you'll see a black, plastic piece that fits over the cable.If that is cracked or broken, it will become hard to shift, then eventually give out altogehter when it breaks in two.Then the vehicle will most likely remain in the gear that is in when it breaks(reverse for instance). You'll have to turn the vehicle off, and then adjust the gear switch by hand. If that plastic cover piece is broken, you can try repairing it with JBweld. JBweld sticks to almost anything,and will bond to plastic.If not, you may to replace the whole linkage.GL!
2006 ion shifts hard
AnswerIt could be dirty fluid or a dirty filter in the transmission. That would be the best place to start if that doesnt work I would take to a transmission shop and have the bands adjusted.the 1996 ford ranger has a shift solenoid located on the transmission. This shows up when a diagnostic is run at your local advance store.
Odds are the clutch is in need of a adjustment or replacement.
Sounds like the clutch is on it's way out.
The most common reason for an automobile transmission to shift hard is low transmission fluid. Make sure the transmission fluid is at the appropriate level.
you could need a transmission flush or your syncro could be worn. try rev matching between gears and if it shifts smooth by doing that its probably your syncro
try checking the fluid level or if you use a heavy trans oil try a lower weight. check pilot bearing
There are many reasons why a car is hard to shift when there is a manual transmission. The clutch is one of the main reasons why a car is not shifting properly. Another reason could be that the transmission is low on fluid.
Sounds like the shift linkage is broken or disconnected somewhere. You'll need to find and repair the problem. Shouldn't be too hard.
The synchronizing gears don't seem to be meshing right in the transmission. If the transmission is full of fluid then it will need to be taken apart to find the problem.
My guess would be you shift shaft teeth are worn or your clutch is going out. Also check and see if the shifter is rubbing and catching on anything.
hey, you kick it but not to hard that you break it
