Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    What speed were you doing. Were you coming from 2nd into 3rd or 4th into 3rd.

    In most cases I can't see trying to downshift to 1st while going down a hill working out.

    Was doing about 20-30I was in second trying to go into 3rd but it just wouldn't budge, like it just kept slipping out of gear.

    Will it change ok if you change at higher rpm?
    Same place, same conditions but stay in 2nd for longer and change to 3rd at a higher speed?



    I don't understand "slipping out" -
    Is the gearstick going all the way to the "normal" position you would go to select 3rd and then jumping out?
    Or are you encountering resistance preventing you from selecting 3rd?

    I'm encountering resistance preventing me from selecting 3rd gear.

    It doesn't change at a higher rpm.

    Does the clutch feel normal when you are pulling away from stopped?

    Sometimes it can make a grinding sound when I am pulling away.
