It's hard to shift into first gear. Posted by manual-mecanica
The car is a 1999 Renault Megane Scenic 1.6 16v.
On Friday I changed the clutch and tested it, and everything was working perfectly until today, Sunday, when first gear doesn't engage smoothly; I have to force it.
My question is:
could it be that I adjusted the rod that goes from the gearshift lever to the gearbox incorrectly?

Hi imoggi, it could be that your gear shift rod is slightly bent, or perhaps the left engine mount has shifted forward, which can sometimes make it difficult to engage first gear. Another possibility is whether your car has a hydraulic or cable clutch system. If it's cable-operated, check the cable and its adjuster (it's automatic).

Your problem is still the clutch; you need to further adjust the regulation, or there are problems with the pressure plate.

hello! For me the problem is still in the clutch, take it to the workshop and check it back. If you changed it you look if if the car begins to come out when you release the pedal and it is in the middle of the route.
