transmission?

[SAMI]

started just recently. sometimes when i go to shift into first, it won't go, and i have to roll the car to get it in. now when i went to put it in reverse, it grinded the gears abunch. is this the tranny going out? what is this?

I say Clutch.

Try double clutching and see if that helps.

Clutch need adjusting. Or the cable is getting too stretched out or broken. Same thing happened to me. Sometimes couldn't even get it to disengage at all.

zuks have the damn bicycle cable for a clutch cable. looks like it's off a bike! what exactly is double clutching? i do need to adjust the cable anyways, the pedal comes out really far.

I just knew you were going to ask that.


Push the clutch in twice.

you know, i figured. but i didn't want to go out there and screw something else up. thought i'd be safe and ask

Don't know that double clutching is but have heard it. Sounds like you need a new cable. I don't think they are too much. Or have you adjust it by the fork itself?? might be able to get a few hundredths of an ince there

No worries.

So that is what it is.

If you decide to buy a new cable get it from Suzuki ONLY. or you will be replacing it again in about 3 months.
