3rd Gear Not Engaging Fully??

[Kip2MyLou]

Sometimes when I go into 3rd gear it stops half way and doesn't engage fully. Sometimes it even leads to me grinding gears and it's annoying. I was wondering if anybody else had this problem. It's just 3rd gear. Maybe it's me not engaging the clutch enough or not throwing the shifter in 3rd hard enough. Any input would be appreciated!

Probably not depressing the clutch enough. My wife does that on occasions when she drives the FiST, but it never happens to me.

That's what I was thinking too. But sometimes I'll be sitting at a light throwing the gears and it still does it when fully depressed.

Maybe that's it. Just 3rd for me.

I had some issues with first gear too. Shifting into second before does work.

I've had it happen a few times in 14k miles. I put in 4 th or 2nd depending on how fast I'm going it the issue goes away. Very seldom does it happen though and it only happened when driving slow with light throttle.

Hi guys,

I want to see what I can do to help smooth this out. Will you be heading to your dealers to have this diagnosed?

Not yet, I have a laundry list of items I need the dealer to check out. My fiesta ownership experience has been a shit show.

Yes, this has happened to me 3 or 4 times in the past few weeks and only with 3rd gear.
