92 Si. P20/B000 tranny.

Every now and then when I'm turning right (90 degree) and go to shift from 1st to 2nd, it won't go in. It feels like there's kind of a binding that's not letting me put it fully into gear. About 85% of the time this problem happens making a right turn. The other 15% is when I'm going uphill at a slight right or when I try shifting going over some rough road (bumps, minor unavoidable pot holes, etc.) This problem NEVER happens (not once) making a left turn. Shifts perfectly EVERY time going left.

 

Get under the car. Check the shifter bushings/linkage.

 

The bushings are the energy suspension poly ones. They've been on the car since I bought it and the problem started around 4 months ago. What could be wrong with the linkage itself?

 

Get under the car and at least look. Eliminate the easy stuff first.

 

Ok, I'll recheck that stuff. Assuming the bushings and linkage are fine, what could potentially cause that problem internally? Where I'm stumped is with it only occurring when I turn right or go up hill.

 

Sounds like a coordination problem
