Re: a loud bang in first followed by neutral

Probably the teeth in the block ring are worn or not fully engaging or the fork pads are worn and not letting the block ring fully seat.


Also, you might get better responses in the transmission forum

Yep , God forbid he'd have posted it in the "Transmission/drivetrain" section , that would have made too much sense .
