beastrado Member 23 Member For: 13y 7m 5d Posted 30/04/14 09:55 AM Posted 30/04/14 09:55 AM Hi everyone I'm having some issues with my 6 speed manual. It is an 09 xr6t ute.When changing from 1st to 2nd it is hesitant and ever so slightly grinds. The best way ive found around this is to slowly pull the gear knob from first gear into neutral for a short time and then into second (if that makes sense).The ute had 8000kms when I bought it and changed all fluids straight away. I used castrol transmax z. Now has 27000kms but has done it ever since I purchased the vehicle.Any advice is appreciated cheers.

Notchy shiftys aswell don't help.Yes its worse when cold but still there when warmed up. I'm going to try mainlube gear oil at 30000km and see how that goes.
