Mis-shifting a manual gearbox...Can it cause any damage?
Hi guys,
I recently bought a 190E 2.3-16. Lovely little car. It has the manual dogleg gearbox which is brand new by the way. New clutch and flywheel too. Anyway its been a while since i drove a manual, and my first time driving a gearbox with this pattern. My question is...it may sound trivial but i will ask anyway! I was in second gear and turning into a corner, speed was about 20mph. I tried to shift into 1st but i must have somehow shifted in between 1st and 3rd gear because i heard a kind of groaning noise. I depressed the clutch and shifted firmly into 1st. Will this have caused any damage? Can this kind of mis-shifting do any harm. I will be more firm with my shifts in the future as this gearbox can be a bit stiff. Any input appreciated! |
