Help!

I've just become the proud owner of a Lancer 1800 GSR. Haven't been able to stop driving it yet. So much performance for such a great price.

Having a problem with first gear, though. It sometimes jumps out of gear when I release the clutch to pull away from stationery.

Has anybody experienced this in the past and can point me in the right direction? I'm becoming more and more worried at the prospect of having to remove the gearbox. Any help welcome.

Thanks

Danny

I've had my GSR for about 18 months now and I'm sorry to say I've never had my 'box exhibit this problem. The shift is cable-operated and can be a bit 'awkward' from 1st to 2nd, but once it's in, it's in.

Maybe the clutch is needing replaced?

I had the same probs on an Escort, it clunked out of 1st gear and I ended up holding it in.
Afraid I had to remove the gearbox and replace the oogey ma whats it!
