c0c4in3 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I hope that's only a problem with the shift knob / shaft / housing and not with the transmission. Everytime I try to get into the 6th gear, I can't get it the first time because it goes to far to the right. I need to get back to the left a few mm and then I can get the gear in. Any idea? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk-rich Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 have you got a quickshift kit fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0c4in3 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Maybe my english is not so good to explain the problem. But I am sure this picture will help. As you can see I have some room between the right side and the 6th gear. If I want to shift into the 6th and put the knob to the right, it don let my put it down to the sixt. I have to push the knob (SHIFTKNOB!!!!) a bit to the left to get it in. Any ideas? Thanks a lot... http://www.directupload.net/images/060209/temp/zjBBwrz6.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0c4in3 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 have you got a quickshift kit fitted? No not yet. Stock shifter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 my short shift kit B+M has a screw hat can be adjusted to stop this, it is basically the reverse gate that you are hitting, are you sure the lift collar on the gear stick is not sticking a bit. WD40 or the like may help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Not sure if I'm being any help here but I'm sure I've heard this is perfectly normal. Hopefully someone with a 6 speed will be along shortly to confirm tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hi there This is normal, when I first got my Supra I had problems getting in to sixth as I thought it was all the way to the right and down - but it's actually down and a little left from 5th. If you're shifting from 5th, just gently pull the lever down and it should go right in... Just takes a bit of getting used to, especially if you're not shifting from 5th.

supRo Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Don't sound normal mate. Lift out the gear lever surround dash piece and see if anything is blocking it. I think a few of the members have had this before, hopefully they'll come along shortly Edit to say I have B&M short shift. Goes into 6th perfectly before and after the B&M! I don't think the B&M is worth it. Makes the gear change just slightly tighter. I don't think it's worth the cost of it compared to gain and I guess the stock shifter would give less possible problems/strain on the gear box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 got a 6, never had this problem, did get 2nd instead of 4th at 110 on a trackday tho waaaaaaahhh oh shite, lol:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra dan Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 i had this problem after a clutch change, it was very slight but noticeable. maybe something not lined up quite right? i got the clutch changed again a few months later and the problem had gone.
