help, serious problem?

TheWop · Aug 31, 2010

i got two problems.

1st. im not sure but i think my clutch is going bad. the clutch pedal for some reason has a lot of play in it, then sometimes it doesnt really have any at all. does anyone know why it would be doin this? and how i can fix it.

2nd. when i shift from 1st to 2nd, and sometime from 2nd to 3rd, it feels like my shifter his hitting something and it makes it hard to shift. its not grinding but it feels like something hitting it and causing it to make a not so good sound. im afraid its a serious problem and want to fix it. all help is appreciated.

1st problem it might be the clutch cable might of got lose and thats why theres so much play. good and look at that.

it feel like it's hitting the gears or somethin, i'm not the most knowledgable person when it comes to cars but it only does it when I shift up gears, when idownshift to second it doesn't do it

Clutch out of adjustment maybe? You'd think if the syncros were going, it would clash downshifting as well.

im not sure about the clutch, im gonna have my friend look at it cuz he should know the problem with the clutch. and i was thinking the same thing about the syncros. its making it hard to shift sometimes and its pissing me off

i dont think its the clutch. it could be the clutch cable or the syncros

I would try and get an after market quadrant and fire wall adjuster. the factory quadrant is made of plastic and flexes and bends alot. maybe the cause of both problems.

+1 on that advise^^^^

TheWop · Aug 31, 2010

Thanks for the help. Any more suggestions. I'm gonna look into the quadrent and the firewall

Try changing the fluid in the tranny and see if it helps any and deff +1 on the cable and firewall adjuster.

Yea, I changed the tranny fluid and that didn't help and I'll try the cable and quadrant

If its still stock that's your next cheapest bet. I'm having the same 2nd to 3rd issue. Replacing clutch, fluid and cable. Hoping it helps if not I'm in for a transmission.

as far as the "hitting" 2nd to 3rd gear, i have that problem too. when the car has not reached normal operating temperature, at high RPM's i just won't go in 3rd gear.

clutch frok or just the nature of the beast= 3650
