t-45 sticks in 4th

mustangmatt7098 · November 1st, 2010, 07:11 PM

one night out of the blue I was driving home from work and when I went to shift out of 4th it needed a little more effort to get it out of gear, I had it back in fourth after I made my turn and it didn't do it again that night.

it does it randomly every once and a while, and it just started out of the blue, I don't take the car over 3.5k rpm or dump the clutch or anything. It also isn't grinding gears at all, just the notchyness that's always been there. It doesn't do it in any other gear, and its not hard to get out just needs more of a nudge than the other gears.

I'm also wondering if the squeak that I have when the clutch is engaged is somehow linked? Its a high pitched squeak that started about a month after the clutch was replaced and it happens in all gears including neutral weather its moving or not and it goes away when the clutch is disengaged.

I've owned this car since 6-25-10

the squeal it probably the throw out bearing. when you installed the clutch you should of installed a new tob. you also need to grease the crap out of it, even if it is new.

and yes it could poss be the tob sticking a lil thats causing the issue.
