Why is it easier to shift gears when the manual transmission is raised but harder when lowered?

[EliasDella]

The reasons why it is easier to shift gears when the manual transmission is raised but harder when lowered are as follows: Incomplete clutch disengagement: It is recommended to test shifting into reverse gear when the vehicle is stationary. If the transmission makes a "clicking" gear collision sound during the process of engaging reverse gear, it indicates that the vehicle's clutch is not fully disengaged. After repairing the clutch, the issue can be resolved. Transmission oil issue: If shifting into reverse gear is smooth but first gear is difficult to engage, it is advised to visit a specialized repair shop to adjust the gear position and replace the transmission oil. This can also resolve the issue. When shifting gears at low speeds with a manual transmission, the clutch must be able to fully disengage to smoothly engage the corresponding gear.
