Transmission sticks going into 2nd while rolling - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #82443 3 posts Started by carlc376
I have a 95 Celica with the 2.2 engine. The car shifts well through all gears while not in motion. Shifting from 1st to 2nd (or 2nd to 1st), I can feel a hang up while shifting. This does not happen in the other gears. If I get slow enough, I can then move it into gear without issues. The clutch pressure feels good, and the motion is smooth. Is it possible that I will need a new clutch, but I want to confirm this before having to spend that kind of time/money. Thank you for any advice.
you technically aren't suppose to shift from 2nd to 1st when driving, but our car has a gear guard so it prevents you from shift from 2nd to 1st. You can downshift into first if you're going about 5mph.

I am normally moving less than 5 mph when the shift is made. I would expect bad things to happen any faster...
