hey guys im having a really hard time shifting through gears today....something def doesnt feel right....they feel all sticky, spongy and hard to shift into any gear...its not grinding or anything either....any ideas?

[Onemanzu]

sorry man i don't have any idea...

did the tranny go back in smooth when you reinstalled it??

[tjames]

change the tranny fluid? you should do that every 15,000 miles or so

[lwhitetrash88l]

no, when i reinstalled the tranny we had one hell of a fucking time getting it to so slide back into the motor...spent like 20-25 mins trying to get it lined up i guess you could call it....idk, and yes i changed the trans fluid and yes it full cuz when i put the tanny back up i had to do that....

[lwhitetrash88l]

it just seems hard to throw the shifter into the right place when shift without using some major elbow grease sometimes

your clutch is def fucked its slipping and grabbing. or your linkage is binding big time.

[Juggalo_X]

did you make sure u had the clutch and pressure plate allied correctly.... used an alignment too? if not you probably fucked you clutch.

[El_Cangri]

i think its the clutch...

i had the same prob with same simptoms and it was my all fucked up clutch

[02ponypackage]

i didnt use an alignment tool when putting my trans back in...and i have no clutch problems...my throwout bearing or a plate in the clutch was bent i noticed when i took the trans out which makes a noise at low rpms when the rpms go down enough i will hear a knock then gassing it slow back up i will hear that same knock...i have to upgrade the clutch when the blower is on but could be something with the trans fluid or the gears inside

[lwhitetrash88l]

no you see the clutch isnt slipping at at all....like when i acutally get it shifted into gear it grabs fine...and no i didnt use and alignment tool becasue of the fact that i didnt drop the bellhousing when switching the t/o bearing....i managed to fit my hand and arm through the bellhousing opening to switch it out while the bellhousing was still mounted...so i didnt need to mess with any of the alignment stuff....but i think i may be somewehere along the lines of what was said above with the linkage binding up....how do i check/fix that problem?

[lwhitetrash88l]

?

[lwhitetrash88l]

anybody?

[lwhitetrash88l]

what do i do now?

[Juggalo_X]

Does it stick in all gears or is it just binding in one or 2

[lwhitetrash88l]

pretty much all of them....not so much in 3rd and 4th and also when its cold it usually doesnt stick so much....

[lwhitetrash88l]

?

[232stang]

sometimes its hard for me to put it in second, and reverse takes a shitload of elbow grease

[lwhitetrash88l]

so what is it thats causing that though?

[DRANEY302]

All t-5 trannies you should put in in 4th and then slide it right in rev I have had 7 different Mustangs 2 95s and 5 fox bodies they have all been that way from brand new to 158000 miles

[DRANEY302]

I can hear the t/o bearing in my 95 and it is also had to shift, Out of the Mustangs I have owned and driven this one is the slowest one of all I am wondering if the clutch and/or tranny could be some of the problem ANY IDEAS
