So I'm driving home from work, I stop at a stop light.When it turns green I put it in first gear and all I get is grinding and my car is not moving. I throw it into second and I have no problems. All gears shift smoothly except first. Any ideas?
Lost Gear/1st gear not working properly
- Thread starter wooooosh
- Start date
thrust washer?
If you have lost a gear the rest will soon follow as the little bits of metal in there begin to tear more stuff up. Rebuilt it or replace it soon. If you are N/A then finding a cheap w58 wont be very hard, the R154 is going to be a bit more money and a little harder to locate.

MDC has rebuild kits for the R154...

Even if you pull it yourself and get a tranny specialist to do the rebuild, its probably the wtg imho. at least then you'll know its all fresh.

heavily worn shifter seat and socket, not to mention the rest of the tranny can cause that...

Actually, yeah, I had my shifter come loose, and pull up out of the tranny. Ended up cracking the bottom bushing in half, and wouldn't shift into 1st at all. Was a bitch. Pull the shifter out, and looks at the seat bushing, and the end bushing.Poodles said:
While you're looking at them, might as well replace them with solid urethane marlincrawler.com bushings
