Missing a Gear...
What exactly happens when you hear that "sound" when you miss a gear? Is it actually the sound of gears grinding together?
I missed 2nd today and when I heard that noise (and felt it through the shift knob) I starting wondering what exactly happens when you miss a gear... |
Indeed, you have metal/metal grinding against each other. Do it enough, and you will have to replace gears/synchros in your transmission.
Don't do it, lol. :) |
No its not a habit of mine...LOL. Honestly this may have been the first time I did it in THIS car... :)
|
slow and sure better then fast and broken >.>
|

|
slow is smooth, smooth is fast!

Since your description of "quite rough" can be quite open to interpretation, I'll ask if your issue goes away after, say, 5-10 minutes of driving (depending on how cold it is out your way)? Most people reported that once the car warmed, shifting was smooth again. Edit to say: And it mainly happened, as I recall, when shifting between 1st & 2nd gears. |

There was an issue brought up a couple/few months back where some folks were reporting temperature (cold) sensitive "notchy" shifting.
