So 2 weeks ago mini quit going into first. Felt like there's a wall there. I called a local mechanic, who said that its the synchro, but that synchros are back ordered, so he cant fix it.
Last week its quit going into second. Sometimes it'll do it if I pull really hard. Sometimes when I downshift it'll grind. Sometimes if I'm doing about 10 miles an hour and rev it a little it slips right in.
Yesterday when I was at a stop light, I had the clutch in, transmission was in 3rd, and the car was creeping forward.
So I dunno?
Maybe it could be the clutch? The synchro? When I checked the reservoir this am it was above "fill"
I don't want to get rid if the car... I'm a fair parts replacer but I suck at troubleshooting, so thanks in advance
