Thread: Help, can't shift into gear.

  1. Default Help, can't shift into gear.

    Hi guys,
    My MPS 6 just wouldn't shift into gear. When the car is turned off it shifts just fine, however when it's on idle the car wont even shift into gear one.
    What possibly could be wrong with it?

    i'm not sure whether to call a mobile mechanic or tow it to mazda.
    any advice is much appreciated.

    Cheers,

    What happens when you put it in gear and then try and start it? If the clutch is depressed and it wants to move then you might have some clutch issue.

    I was able to move the car a bit when i did that, but it struggle to move even 1 meter.

    cheers,

    cheers,
    Little bit more detail please?

    Seems to be an issue with either the clutch or the gearbox right?
    So you need to test and explain how each ends up..


    Ie -
    Car off, put it in first, clutch depressed, start car - does it bunny hop? does it stall? does it run fine? what happens when you slowly release the clutch?

    What happens when you try and start the car then shift into first when it is idling? does it grind? does it stall? does the shifter move but the gear does not engage?

    pretty hard to diagnose these issues with very little information..

    Like the above message need more info.. but have a look at the cable maybe that's come off? Or something similar happened to myself and it was the clutch slave cylinder, but the clutch was depressed and wouldn't come up...
