So after much testing I think I figured out the issue. The dealer says its normal but I know its not.
I don't think its a problem with the new transmission, it seems to be a problem with the alignment of the shifter and the new transmission, but I don't know how to describe it correctly to the service manager at the dealer.
On my old transmission, when pushing the shifter all the way to the right and then up, I would get 5th gear, and when pushing all the way to the right and then down I would get 6th gear.
With the new transmission, when pushing the shifter all the way to the right and then up it won’t go in, and same with pushing to the right and then down, won’t go in.
To get 5th gear I need to push about half way to the right and then up (so not all the way to the right), if I guess just right it shifts smooth, no issue.
And same with 6th, if I go about halfway as far as I used to, and then down I get 6th gear no problem.
My question is, is this normal? Shouldn't it be all the way to the right and then up or down? With 1st and 2nd, its all the way to the left, you don't have to guess or hunt to find it so to speak?
I don’t think it’s normal that I have to push it just the right amount of force to find the right spot, it should be all the way to the right and then up and down, like my old transmission was.
If you have manual transmission can you let me know how your 5th and 6th shifts?
How can I prove that this is not as it should be?
