Hard Gear Shifting
Hard gear shifting in a manual transmission may occur because of the various factors.
Causes/Recommendations
- Synchronizers wear.
Conical contact surfaces of synchronizers in manual transmissions are wearing out in the high-mileage vehicles with time. And conical surfaces of corresponding gears undergo the same. All these lead to gear shifting problems. Applying Revitalizant® to the transmission component will restore the friction conical surfaces or will stop their further wear when the wear rate is critical.
- Gear shifting fork wear/breakdown.
To replace worn out parts.
- Gear shifting mechanism requires adjusting.

- Clutch linkage requires adjusting.

Note
Our experience has shown that applying metal conditioners to manual transmission components allows decreasing noise and vibration during operation as well as decreasing fuel consumption (especially in 4-wheel-drive vehicles).
