Random help...
HEY Random,
this is Turboman again
I would like you to help me please cause i have a serious prob.
I have a difficulty in engaging the gears of my tib.I have to push very hard my gear level sometimes to engage the first gear.Secondly when i try to engage the third or fourth gear the lever seems to stop in the middle and then i hear a nasty noise.
What could this be?
FYI the gear fluids are new(I changed them in April 00).My mechanic said that probably i need a new flywheel.BTW when i engage the gear my tib doesn´t seem to slip when i hit the gas sad.gif Do you think that i have a gear system problem?Maybe my shortshifter(SR)has a problem?Finally i have to tell you that i sprayed grease over the tranny,specifically to the point where the little handle is(is used to change gears).Tell me your opinion before i spent some serious bucks changing flywheel.BTW with the current flywheel i use i have done 100000kms.Please answer me ASAP.

I serrioulsy doubt it is your flywheel. When you push in the clutch to engage gears, the flywheel is out of the equation.
It sounds like your cables are either bent, or your syncro's are going inside your tranny. That "nasty noise" you are hearing is the syncro's grinding teeth. That is NOT A GOOD THING.
Try this trick. Push in the clutch as normal. the start to release the cluch JUST a LITTLE BIT, and try GENTLY sliding into the next gear. By releasing the clutch a tad, that will allow the syncros/gears to spin a bit, and as you slide the shifter into that gear...they should "mesh" together with no grinding.
If that does solve your problem...the problem is with the gears/syncro's in your tranny, not the shifter, clutch, pressure plate or flywheel.

HEY RANDOM,
I just did what you told me but the gear won´t disengage unless i fully press the clutch!!!
Whats wrong now?I have one question:
I read in hmaservice that maybe the troubleshooting is caused by damaged bushing(of the gear cables)or the small spring that is fitted on my shortshifter.
I inspected the gear cables and i saw that the edge of the select cable is a bit turned(I mean not direct but a bit turned to one side)and the safety pin is a bit slack!!Is this the problem?Furthermore the spring that is on the shortshifter has a small plastic cover on it which is a bit worn...So what can i do?Is this the problem?Or maybe does HVE sell this spring or the bushing of the select cable??? sad.gif sad.gif I am afraid that maybe sometime they will tow me again to the dealership!!I hope not though

Push in your clutch to fully disengage the the gear, go to neutral, then slightly engage the clutch to move to the next gear.
The spring in the shifter just there for "re-centering" the gear shift. It does not affect gear throws to have that there or not. Your tranny will work find without it.
If one of your cables is slack...that could be causing the problem, unfortunatly, there are no cable adjustments for the tibby.
