It’s quite possible the synchronizor for first is worn out. If all the other gears work fine, I would look towards a worn synchronizer. Also check the linkage. How many miles on the tranny? What vehicle?
[quote=”B15_SE” post=129145]2001 nissan sentra SE M/T . transmission was rebuilt. put on maybe 15 – 20 k miles.[/quote] Hmm hows the oil look? Does it have excessive metal in it?
idk if this helps but , it always felt like when i put it in some gears , it wouldn’t go all the way in.
my car doesn’t have a tranny dipstick , i have to get under there and unscrew a bolt that’s in the tranny. i put mt-90 last year. around may. didn’t* get a look at it.

Based on what I’m hearing, I’d talk to the rebuilder. It sounds to me like something is amiss or wasn’t rebuilt properly. Did you get a warranty on the rebuild?
he gave me 12k miles or 1 year. its passed both ends . i didn’t get a look at the gear oil. i remember it was brown .

I’ve rebuilt manuals and automatics and I can tell you what you are experiencing is abnormal. At first sign of trouble(gears not engaging properly) I woulda hightailed it back to the builder. Perhaps the builder will help you out in goodwill? You never know. In any case the tranny has to come apart.
I’d say too much endplay on a main or countershaft or a worn shift fork.
Too much end play should have been checked and adjusted during the rebuild.
A worn shift fork should have been replaced during the rebuild.
A fork can also wear if you do a lot of driving in city traffic and have a tendency to leave your hand resting on the gearshift lever.[quote=”Bluesnut” post=129168]I’d say too much endplay on a main or countershaft or a worn shift fork.

^ This too
Tranny has to come apart regardless.[quote=”Bluesnut” post=129168] tendency to leave your hand resting on the gearshift lever.[/quote]
whoops i do that all the time , i didn’t know that did anything.also about the person that rebuilt it , i don’t wanna go back because things didn’t end in a good way.
btw how long can i leave it as it is? i’m asking because i keep pouring money into my car and something keeps going wrong.i always thought if the transmission goes bad prematurely , i think i would just get a another car and let the current one die in peace. anyone know how much would it cost to replace the tranny with a used one? how about rebuilding it again?
