Q
Manual trasmission and shifting.?
i have an 2004 kia optima. Today it would not shift in reverse unless i forced it to. Then it doesn't want to go in to 1st gear. My dad came over and checked the fluids and seen that my brake fluid was out. He replaced it and it shifted great for him. As soon as he left I got in it and it still will not hardly shift for me. I have been driving it...

Sounds like you have an issue with the clutch hydraulics or possibly the pressure plate. 1st and reverse are non synchronized gears. So if the clutch is not releasing completely it will be difficult to shift into those gears. Check for a hydraulic leak. (the clutch hydraulic system operates on...

She does not know what she is talking about. An automatic transmission uses a torque converter clutch, in order to shift gears without the manual use of a clutch. A "standard" or manuel transmission does not have this, it has a regualr clutch that must be engaged by the driver using a pedal. If it...

Why should I also consider these?

Thanks to its bargain base prices, which start several thousand dollars less than the Camry and Accord (which are admittedly plusher and more refined), the 2009 Kia Optima appeals to shoppers who want their money to go the furthest in a new mid-size sedan.
Versus a smaller sedan or more luxurious used car, the Optima offers an enviable new-car warranty from Kia.
Other direct competition might include the Dodge Avenger, which flaunts a distinctly American design inside and out.
The Avenger falls behind due to its coarse powertrain and chintzy interior materials.
The Fusion also has standout styling but is much more fun to drive than the Optima, even as a base four-cylinder model.
The new Malibu, though it costs only slightly more, feels in a class above, with a swoopy interior design, high-grade materials, and a very refined driving experience.
