I have noticed that when I first start my car in the morning (usually before 8 am) and go, after I stop it's difficult to get the car into 1st again unless I stop completely. However, say I've been driving for a while, I can slow from a roll and the car usually lets me into first when I'm below 5 mph. Has anyone else experienced this?

I've also noticed that shifts aren't as "smooth" when I first drive in the morning.

Thoughts?

 

I haven't ran into any problems yet. I start my car around 6:30-7 to get me to school.

 

I've noticed it on my accord and my prelude... just pump the clutch a few times before you try to jam it into gear-you'll save ur tranny too.

 

yea, I've had the same issues. I was wondering about it too.

 

try warming up your car ...
