What is the reason for the Haval H6 shifting into third gear when trying to engage first gear?
2 Answers
Haval H6 shifting into third gear when trying to engage first gear is due to unfamiliarity with the gear positions, and the fact that first gear in the Haval H6 is inherently difficult to engage. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Difficulty in engaging first gear in the H6: The six-speed manual transmission in the Haval H6 is produced by a company in Hebei Province. The model of this manual transmission is CM52. Because this transmission has been on the market for a long time, the gear ratio between first and second gear is about 1.9, while the normal gear ratio is around 1.5, which makes it relatively difficult to engage. 2. Correct way to shift gears: When starting, push the gear lever to third gear or fourth gear, and repeat this back and forth a few times. Then, engaging first gear or reverse gear will become much easier.
I've encountered this issue before. When driving my Haval H6, shifting into first gear felt as weak as climbing a hill in third gear. This is mostly caused by clutch plate wear or slipping. After a few years of driving a new car, if you frequently encounter traffic jams or shift gears without fully depressing the clutch, the clutch can wear excessively, leading to insufficient power output. It could also be a problem with the transmission synchronizer, which prevents the gears from engaging correctly, causing incorrect gear shifts. Insufficient or poor-quality transmission fluid can also affect lubrication and increase resistance. If this issue isn't addressed promptly, it could damage the internal parts of the transmission, leading to higher repair costs. It's recommended to check if the clutch operates smoothly. If you feel any lag, have it diagnosed at a professional repair shop. Usually, replacing the clutch plate can solve the problem. Regular maintenance of transmission fluid can prevent similar failures and ensure safer driving with peace of mind.
