Renault megane cc can't get 1st 3rd or 5th gear

possibly low on fluid.that would be first to check

Check the gear stick for obstructions that is not allowing full engagement. Check the gear lever pivot and make sure that it is secure and allowing full selection . Pull the drain plug and check the magnet for metal bits . Any thing there and you will have to pull the box and I would say replace the bearings

hi check the gear linkage at the gearbox im sure the small rod has popped off same rod for 5th and reverse maby need replaced will only happen again

Great to hear. Good Job!

my scenic megane 2000 1600cc will not select reverse all forward gears are ok any idea's what is wrong as the AA man coudn't fix it PLEASE.

Hi:
The shift pattern is pretty much the same on all 5 speed cars. The top row is the odd numbers, 1-3-5
the bottom row is 2-4-Reverse. The center position is neutral

Here is the key: The shifter is slightly spring-loaded to the center position. If you hold in the clutch pedal and pull the shifter to neutral, and let go of it, it will automatically be lined up in the position, that if you pushed it forward , it would go to 3rd gear, and if you pulled it back, it would go into 4th gear.
This way, to start driving, you start out in neutral, grab the shifter lightly, and push it first to the left, then forward. This is first gear, where you start out. when you want to shift to second, push in the clutch, and keeping left pressure on the shifter, pull all the way back . Here is the easy part, 2nd to 3rd. When you are ready, push in the clutch, and just push the gear shift forward , till it hits neutral, and is spring loaded to the middle. Then you just push it straight forward to 3rd, then next shift, straight back to 4th.
Last gear, 5th: push forward to the neutral row, then Push to the right till it lines up ,and forward to the 5th gear. Reverse should only be shifted into from a dead stop. Find neutral, push the shifter all the way right, then pull back towards you. Hope this helps.
Practice a bunch in the driveway!

check hoses for splits...i had the same problem.

Hi,

This might be because of the gear box problem. By any chance, did your car face flooding? In such cases, please drain the gear box and replace it with new gear fluids. Also, check if you go in low speeds, you might be able to engage it with ease. Please come back to me if you feel this doesnt solve your issue.

im not telling you what to do because it could be a bad transmission and an easy fix but I cant tell without looking at it , but if its a hard fix just go to a reliable junkyard and get another

3rd gear or all drive gears up to 3rd forward
