I'm new to the diesel Cruisers, and recently obtained a 95 VX Cruiser with the 24v 1HD-FT turbo diesel. As most UK spec cruisers of that year are, it too is a manual. As I've learned, most Cruisers around the world are automatics, but Toyota apparently took a lorry gear box and put it into the UK spec Cruisers to help them sell. Not sure if that is fact or fiction, but maybe it will explain my problem.
I have a lot of trouble shifting into 1st and 2nd gear from the neutral position. Also, if I'm downshifting from 3rd gear into 2nd, it's quite a pain too. Sometimes I'm able to get in by double/triple clutching.
No manual gearbox in other vehicles I've driven did this unless there was some sort of problem, but I've heard that this may be normal.
Any ideas???
