Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can't downshift from 3rd to 2nd gear, I can still upshift from 1st to 2nd. The transmission cables were replaced last year, any ideas? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

Can you elaborate? What transmission do you have, 5 or 6 speed? Do you have to stop in neutral between 3rd and 2nd, or is it entirely impossible to engage it? Does it grind or does the stick just not move? Can you make the shift if you double-clutch? The more information you have, the easier it is to figure it out.
