Hi guys,
Owned a 2009 CJ Lancer VR Manual Sportsback.
I've read another thread about gearbox issue but that was 2 year old thread and mine is a little different.
I have problem getting from Neutral --> Third gear while my car is doing 40km/h. I have to force it into third. I tried to shift from Neutral --> Third at a slower speed and it works fine.
NOTE: Only when on Neutral --> Third.
I used to leave my gear on Neutral sometimes and shift into whichever gear according to the speed. (it's just my habit)
What can possibly cause this problem?
Did a 45000kms service this year. Assume they have already change the gearbox oil but I do not think this is the issue because shifting to any other gear is smooth, it's just from Neutral --> Third. Never Ever been rough on the gearbox. It's just everyday slow driving.
Now onto the next problem. Not sure if this is a problem or it is supposed to be like that. There's a soft knocking noise in the engine bay, can hear it in the car. It only occurs when the car is warmed up and it knocks constantly doesn't matter if the car is moving or idle. 2 knocks per second.
These problems really getting me all worried and couldn't sleep.
HELP!!!!
Thanks
