Hi everyone,
I bought a used 2008 Mazda 2 with 43k miles on it last week and since then I've been having difficulty changing down gear. The only way round it is to put it into neutral, release the clutch then select desired gear. Any ideas what this could be?
I don’t go through the gears 4th,3rd,2nd ….
I tend to do go from 4th to 2nd, well attempt too anyway. My car will not let me shift down unless I’m doing a certain speed even with the clutch in; it’s a real pain when approaching roundabouts.
Is this normal?
Cheers
EDIT**
forgot to mention, the problem only shows when the engine is warm (15 minute + drive)
