Wonder if anyone can help with some advice. I have a Kia Sportage which I bought second hand... The 6 speed manual box always has been a bit like a salad spoon in a bucket of marbles but shifts smoothly enough when the transmission oil is warmed up. Problem I have is the second gear is a bit sticky and wont engage without a bit of force or double de clutching. If you get the bite point of the clutch just right it seems to go in OK and seems to be worse when changing up rather than down. The linkage is a bit agricultural on these models I know, but the strange thing is the gearbox seems to shift fine in all gears when the engine is not running. Is this a Clutch or gear box problem / any Ideas. ? The clutch was replaced by the previous owner at about 60 k ...its now got 66 on the Odo. Thanks in advance.

Possible that second gear's syncronizer is worn out. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

First - shifts like a "spoon in marbles" - quite the description but get the idea. That alone isn't right. Try shifting it with engine off and see if it feels better or correct. I dare say this will now be a compound problem for the fix as to me about 100% of Asian vehicles shift as smoothly as any ever made when all things normal - clearly not. A question: Upshifting you shouldn't need to "double clutch" rather that's for downshifting for non synchronized "gearboxes" not around for ages anywhere. Upshifting you would be aggravating it doing that. Opinion: Needing a clutch job from wear at 60K suggests to me that driving conditions are excessively stop and go or lots of routine hill starts otherwise the driver is usually at fault - IMO. You got it that way and think clutch job wasn't complete from a driver who wasn't so skilled at it and more needed tending to then than was done. Check hydraulic clutch that linkage via fluid is working properly as if engine is off shifting would feel normal and running it wouldn't is the clue. They don't heal but is gearbox properly filled with gear oil? Other: Anytime you need to force a shift you are asking for troubles beyond what the initial reason is that it needed that so think you'll find this a compound issue to remedy, T gsferraro Veteran Aug 6, 2016, 1:34 PM Post #4 of 4 (1585 views) Re: KIA Sportage 2009 Diesel Sign In This is hard to shift cold, but shifts ok hot?
