Description of the problem | My 2012 chevrolet cruze eco with the 6-speed manual transmission has occasionally refused to go into 4th gear, and grinds occasionally when going into 2nd gear. I get the grind at about 1200 rpm and up. Most of my shifting is done at or below 2500 rpm for fuel economy reasons. The clutch pedal can be pushed to the floor, the engine rev-matched, and it will still balk/grind in those gears. This is my second manual transmission car after putting 70,000 miles on my first one, so i know how to drive a manual transmission without grinding the gears. The car presently has 4700 miles on it, and the problem started at approximately 1000 miles. I'm worried that i might need to do a quick shift to accelerate quickly in an emergency situation and be unable to do so thanks to the balkiness of the transmission. |
