| Just got my Logan 1.6 GLS delivered a week back. Amazing performance, except issues with Gears. Most prominent is changing from 5th to 4th gear. Just cannot get it done! If i try forcibaly, it takes to me 2nd gear. However, i have no issues in changing from 5th to 3rd or from 3rd to 4th gear.
Do you think it could be an issue with my gearbox, or there is something wrong that i am doing? I face no such issues with my Dad's Esteem. | |

| Hi, I have 1.5 DLS and initially I also faced the same issue in gear shift from 5th to 4th. However now this issue is resolved automatically, I guess this is just initial problem and it gets resolved automatically once we become use to with Logan's gear shift. | |

| My wife has this problem ! All you do is take it out of 5th and it falls into position ready to be pulled back you do not need to PUT it into position try this use your 4 fingers and just pull back letting the gear find its own place (dont grab the top ove rthe gearstick) sTu | |

| Twice it happened that when I shifted down from 5th quickly, it went from 5th to REVERSE! The gear shifter didnt get enough time to be in line with the 4th gear! | |

sTu Agree with STU's advice, unknowingly I am doing the same. Probably thats why the problem got resolved automatically. | |

| I have a DLS too but havent had any such problem. Dunno how it can be a problem if going to 3rd isnt cause both will be done frm neutral!! Many people make a mistake of assuming that thr 4th is below the 5th gear position but actually it is below the 3rd. Hope u getting what i mean. Check this, it may help. Not exactly this though helpful http://blogs.superstreetonline.com/1005468/miscellaneous/shifting-gears-a-good-technique/index.html | |

Hey Saumil - I am pretty sure that i am doing it right cos i have already been driving an esteem and other vehichles since quite some time. The gear just locks up - just wont move to the 4th one. If i try harder, it goes to 2nd at the cost of the RPM reachin 3.5k + Even my bro faced the same issue here. | |

| You are trying to pull the lever back Dont PULL the lever just move it out of gear and it sits in the correct place to pull back into 4th .If you pull it back it trys to go into reverse and sooner or later you will have no teeth left on the gears Stu | |

| Excess the gear box in Maruti is a lil different from the Logan. I had a zen earlier and was facing similar problem. Logan gear shift is actually real smooth. I guess its only abt getting used to it. If not I guess show it to the dealer rite away. Gear box is a very critical component and needs to be up and running. | |

| thanks all for your suggestions I tried as martin said.. n it seems the gear shift is fine... maybe they were just initial hiccups! Glad that the issue got resolved easily.. n spl thanks to every1 out here ! I tried changing from 5th to 4th under various conditions and tried it several times. The gear shift is way too different from maruti... It was all about getting used to a new gal.. perhabs a better version.. | |

| I had this trouble during my first few days with the Verito. I owned a Maruti800 before this and was not used to 5 gears. In the maruti whenever I needed to downshift from 3 to 2, i would exert a pressure both downward and to the left so as to push it in the second position. I was using the same method on the Verito to shift from 5 to 4. This caused me to get into 2 directly from 5, at times. After some experience I realized that only the downward push is required and not the push towards left. It automatically finds its place. Once you have realized this, it is very easy. | |
