What happens if you downshift hard into first gear?
This kind of thing has happened before. The cable keeps the transmission from upshifting too soon if you are accelerating hard. When it’s stuck, it could cause delayed downshifting to first and it would make the eventual downshift seem violent. Also, what they said.
Can a car shift into 1st gear while stopped?
You should have no problem. If you keep trying to force the shift while you are stopped, you run the risk of bending the shift fork. My experience is the transmission won’t go into 1st but stays in neutral. I then push down on the shift lever as I slowly let out the clutch until it goes into 1st then pull it back in.
When does an automatic transmission go into first gear?
There is only two times where an automatic transmission goes into first gear. Once when you drop the shift lever down to the D or L positions and when you are cruising and slow down to a stop. When is it shifting hard to first??
Why does my transmission only shift rough in first gear?
Hey I changed my transmission fluid and filter thinking maybe that was the problem but it was shifting rough in first gear. And it still is. When I take off and get it to 2500 rpms or 20mph before it shifts into second it doesn’t do it but I don’t always wanna have to take off like that wonder what is causing it to do that? My car has 130000 miles.

What does it mean to have a stiff first gear?
Sometimes, when the car is attempting to pull away from a standstill (at traffic lights, for example) the driver will put the clutch down and try to put it in to first gear. They either have to exert more force than most would feel comfortable in doing to force it in to first gear or try again and it will usually go in the second time.
