Hello,
I have got a 93 XJ, with a 2.5 backed by a mannual 5 speed.
When the car stands still, it is difficult to put it in first gear.
You must then try third or fifth first to get it in, and sometimes then it is difficult to put it in gear. :helpme:
Cold or warm matters not that much.
When you drive and slow down, it slides just in with no issues.
I find this car a heavy gear-changer in compare with "normal" passenger cars.
I did change the gearbox oil a week ago, filled with 75W80, clutch feels good.
Is there some addition to the oil that I can try, or is there an other option? Maybe other oil?
Is this a commen problem??
My previous GC had an automatic, no issues with that, except that I blew the overdrive part.... Well, it just could be me:smsoap:
So if anyone has a good tip, I really like to know,
Thanks!!!
