- Check the 2nd synchro ring and 2nd gear (see SYNCHRO RING AND GEAR INSPECTION
- Check the 1st/2nd synchro sleeve and hub (see SYNCHRO RING AND GEAR INSPECTION
|
| Hard to shift into 3rd gear |
- Check and/or replace the MTF (Manual Transmission Fluid) (see TRANSMISSION FLUID INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
).
- Check the change lever assembly (see CHANGE LEVER ASSEMBLY DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
).
- Check the 3rd synchro ring and 3rd gear (see SYNCHRO RING AND GEAR INSPECTION
).
- Check the 3rd/4th synchro sleeve and hub (see SYNCHRO RING AND GEAR INSPECTION
).
|
| Hard to shift into 4th gear |
- Check and/or replace the MTF (Manual Transmission Fluid) (see TRANSMISSION FLUID INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
).

|
| Hard to shift into reverse |
- Check and/or replace the MTF (Manual Transmission Fluid) (see TRANSMISSION FLUID INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
).
- Check the clutch (see CLUTCH DISC INSPECTION AND REMOVAL
).
- Check the change lever assembly (see CHANGE LEVER ASSEMBLY DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
).
- Check the reverse shift fork and reverse idler gear (see REVERSE SHIFT FORK CLEARANCE INSPECTION
).
- Check reverse gears.
|
| Noise from the transmission |
- Check and/or replace the MTF (Manual Transmission Fluid) (see TRANSMISSION FLUID INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
).
- Check the MTF (Manual Transmission Fluid) level (unfilled or in surplus the transmission with the MTF).
- Check the transmission gears.
- Check the transmission bearings.
- Check the differential carrier, the final driven gear, and the carrier bearings.
|
| Shift lever does not operate smoothly |
- Check and/or replace the MTF (Manual Transmission Fluid) (see TRANSMISSION FLUID INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
).
- Check the shift cables and their joints (see GEARSHIFT MECHANISM REPLACEMENT
).
- Check the shift lever housing with the shift lever shaft.
|
| Transmission jumps out of gear |
- Check and/or replace the MTF (Manual Transmission Fluid) (see TRANSMISSION FLUID INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
).
- Check the detent ball springs (see EXPLODED VIEW - CLUTCH HOUSING: 2WD
