Why does my Shimano not shift into 3rd gear?
To activate the third gear, a spring pulls the lever bar towards the centre (smaller cog). The spring isn’t very strong and will stick, not pulling it in and therefore not catching the cog. Clean the area of the spring. I just use oil.
How does the third gear work on a mower?
To activate the third gear, a spring pulls the lever bar towards the centre (smaller cog). The spring isn’t very strong and will stick, not pulling it in and therefore not catching the cog. Clean the area of the spring. I just use oil. It is the same mechanism with more cogs, for the other shifter for the gears on the wheel. Welcome to the site!
Is there a way to shift the derailleur into third?
I can pull the cable to make the derailleur shift into third but the shifter doesn’t have “enough throw” to do it via the shifter. Pulled the cover off and threw some lube in it and it appeared to look just fine, but didn’t take the closest of looks before having to shutter the shop. First and second work just fine. Shifts up, shifts down.

What happens when you use too low a gear on a bike?
Continuing with the car example, using too low a gear at high speed would result in high fuel consumption. The same is true of your body pedalling a bike. So, quite simply, more gears means more scope to find your preferred pedalling speed.
What happens when you shift gears on a bike?
The result is smoother, more precise shifting, as the mechanical difficulties the chain has to overcome to climb onto the bigger sprocket or drop down onto a smaller one are much reduced with smaller increments, but most importantly, the possibility is there to greatly improve pedalling efficiency.
