1992 Nissan 240SX: Hard getting into 1st gear
1992 Nissan 240SX: Hard getting into 1st gear
This is actually a CA18DET, but the transmission itself is the same as the KA. Anyway, when I come to a complete stop, it is hard to get it into 1st gear. While in first gear in the clutch is depressed, I hear sort of a chatter/scraping sound. Almost sounds like the friction disc is making very light contact with the flywheel/pressure plate. Then here comes another issue-- As I start to let off the clutch, and it starts to engage, the whole drivetrain shakes. Makes the same sound and feel as when you get wheelhop. 1st gear is the only gear that is hard to get into. For the record, if I start out in 2nd gear, I don't get the shaking or anything. That leads me to believe it is a transmission issue. Something else about the transmission is when it is in 4th gear, and I let off the gas, it goes back into neutral. I have to physically hold the shifter in 4th gear to keep it there. 4th is the only gear that happens in. BTW, the clutch has 350 easy miles on it and it's a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch. The flywheel was stepped properly as well for it to .004" Please help me!
