Can you shift smoothly from 1st to 2nd?
You’ll never wait that long so when you put it into 2nd, your engine speed will be dragged down by the car and the car will jerk. At higher gears the gap is much shorter, from 4th to 5th if you shift at 3k rpm, the drop is only 600 rpm, so I actually have to give it a little gas when shifting so it won’t drop too low.
Why is my shift fork not shifting in?
The first thing I’d do is check the linkage. If it’s binding or come loose it may not be moving far enough to the side to engage 1st and 2nd while still being OK for the remaining gears. Otherwise it’s just pulling the transmission apart and seeing what the issue is. Does broken shift fork have other symptoms?
Why does my car not shift from 1st to 2nd?
And I think it does explain. The rpm drop from 1st to 2nd (at the same speed) is simply too large. For example, if you shift at 3k rpm, it’ll need to drop down to 1.8k rpm to match the speed at 2nd gear, that’s a long wait for it to drop that much.
When does transmission shift hard from 1st to 2nd Rd?
When car transmission Fluid is low or dirty is could lead to transmission shifting hard from 1st to 2 nd and even from 2nd to 3 rd. So when you have a gear shifting issues, one of the things to check is your transmission fluid.

Why is it so hard to shift gears?
The automatic shifter has numerous sensors that regulator when and how the transmission changes gears. When anyone of this sensors is bad it hard to shift gear. So if the sensors fail to receive and send the right signal readings, shifting problems can occur due to the wrong signal transmission.
When do we have shift problems on the highway?
We have shift problems when we are driving down the highway. it is like the engine is having to work harder to keep up to highway speeds. It will get up to 60 Mph but anything other than that you have to hit the ECT button and then the engine revs very high like up into the 5.2k rpm.
Can a bad transmission shift solenoid cause hard shifting?
You may also have intermittent problems with the transmission shift solenoid, which will cause shifting problems. This can cause hard shifting or shiftings at too low or too high RPM, for example.
