Sometimes when im driving and waiting at a stop light for a while, i put it in neutral so i dont have to hold in the clutch, then when the light turns green i put it in first, but sometimes it doesnt go, it just stops. It's like its just hitting , i push my clutch all the way in, and it still wont go. This has been happening freaquently, sometimes i can shift smooth, other times it just doesn't feel right, and wont even go into first...i got my tranny fluid changed and it didn't really help, any ideas? anyone else have this? im a 2.4

Sounds like a tooth to tooth match. Let go of the brake. Let the car roll an inch. Try again.

Or try shifting into second, and then back into first. That works every time for me.

These transmissions are pieces of ****, I have an issue going into first as well, its not just you lol dont worry about it

but +1 to the second then first trick, I do it all the time, works well

x2 i get this sometimes with 1st or reverse, both the rolling and different gear trick help me

p.s. OP are you on a different shifter by chance? easy to screw up the adjustments on those

like said, just put it in 2nd and back to 1st

or let up on the clutch/clutch back in and it will go into 1st

so its just tranny design haha tranny
