Question Regarding My Manual Car
Howdy fellas,
I don't know much about cars. But anywho, here is the question:
I have a 1997 Saturn SC1, manual. Lately, maybe about 1 month or so, I have some trouble putting it into 1st gear. If i'm sitting at a red light, and the car is in neutral, the light turns green, I go to put it in first gear, and it is almost as if it is blocked. I have to sometimes force it in, kinda push hard. Usually it's not like this tho, it goes in very smooth. This has happened maybe 5-6 times in the last month.
So, what does this mean exactly? Is the gears/transmition getting all fucked up? Do I need to get anything checked? Is it possible this is a side effect from the very cold weather up here in Toronto?
Please help, I drive the car pretty much everyday for about 20km.
Thanks guys,
T.
