Need help badly!

[Blowfish]

Just recently, I have been facing difficulties engaging gears. ( driving a manual proton). Even when i step on the clutch, i have problems engaging into 1st,2nd and reverse gear. (3,4,5 seems to be fine). What could be the problem? If it was the clutch then most probably i would difficulty in engaging all gears right?

I'm bloody worried it could be my gearbox? I really need some help here. Sometimes to engage into 1st or 2nd gear, i actually have to enter 3,4,5 first.

I'm actually driving a 1.6 proton. If it was the gearbox, how much would it cost to change one? I don't think it's the clutch coz it doesn't seem to be slipping.

Bro, have a look at your gear oil level as well as your clutch pump oil level. See if you have enuf fliud. If you have no leaks and the fluid level is ok and you're still having probs.. then most probably you need to open up the GB and check the syncro .... if syncro gone then its not gonna be cheap!! I hope its the former ... good luck

just do a gear oil change and u should be fine after that...

Ok thanks guys. But i'm still a little confused. If it was the gear oil or clutch pump oil, woulnd't it effect all gears? I mean the prob now only occurs with 1st and 2nd gear. I'm really worried in a way. Coz i dun wanna spending on so many things when the prob isn't really identified.


1 mech so far told me the clutch is f**ked. Another told me the gearbox is f**ked. which is exactly why I'm confused.

My mind's hoping that it's just the oils as well. But pretty damn worried its the 1st and 2nd gear synchros which are f**ked up.

hmmm... i think if the synchros are f**ked up, try this test when on the 1st or 2nd gear and driving time, floor the accelerator until RPM is about 5k rpm, then release the accelerator. If the synchros are KO, the gear would jump into neutral wan (read some where very long time back, not too sure though).

any different between different brand of performance tires ? do all the performances tires save petrol and have higher mileage than comfort tires ? I was thinking to change to performance tires recently due to the technology of performance tires such as rubber, inflation pressure and also the tread pattern are much more better in conserving fuel. am i correct ?

Hey guys, do you know that by selecting right tires you may save 20% of petrol? I shocked to know too...
No doubt performance tires really depends a lot on the design and quality but the way we handle it also equally important! Then followed by road condition and weather. I like to share this link because it shows how to get comfortable and silent drive by selecting correct tires 米其林實驗室 - 寧éœç¯‡ - YouTube

every tires design to have different pressure , make sure that you applied the right one.
tires is the part that touch the ground and it is incised with grooves which separate the various “rubber blocks”.
Because of every tires was created using different technologies, the performance will be different.

Tires are not really important when it compares with habits and style of driving. Those who use good branded tires but are careless may cause more problem than those who use cheap tires and drive carefully!
