I just put a new tranny on my LS and it is hard to shift into gears. it take a lot of force to go into each gear even coming into neutral. can ne one give me some idea whats going on and what i can do to fix this

 

ne one

 

what kind of fluid are you using...how did the clutch look when you swapped trannys, was it good

 

penzoil synchromesh. yeah it looked ok its a 3 puck clutch. but i dont know why the clutch would have ne thing to do with it. the clutch is working fine

 

well you know that with the clutch it will be stffer than stock and grab harder, but does the tranny make any sort of noises...cause mine was having this same problem last week and it started to rattle at high rpm then eventually blew last saturday

 

i did not hear ne thing. when i as hard to get into gear it almost takes two hands. its not grinding. its just hard to shift

 

Maybe the shifter is too tight?

 

how would that make the shifting hard? a little more input please

 

one of the bolts thats on the shifter makes the shifting harder if it's overtightened... I forget which one it's called, but I'll see if I can look it up for ya

 

o ok its not grinding or making any noise....well check small stuff like the clutch reservoir and make sure its full

It's the bolt that holds the shifter to the shift linkage. Try loosening that a little and see if the shifting gets easier

 

ohhh ok i understand what your saying now. ill check that tomorrow and give you an update

 

bleed the clutch master cylinder

 

i have bled the clutch

 

still havent checked the shifter bolt. i will check that this afternoon and let yall know if that fixes the problem

 

The Transmission on my car was rebuilt and i put it in the car a few weeks ago. After I put the tranny fluid in, it was still very hard like you say to put it in gear. I used both my hands also to put it in reverse and first gear, but after driving it a little it got softer and softer to shift, now it shifts in to gear normally. My guess is that even though i had put the fluid in, it had not lubricated all the parts and gears in there until I drove the car. Maybe you have the same problem.

 

i was thinking the same thing. thanks for the input....

to all the ones who are helping me out and giving me some ideas im gonna give yall a

 

No problem man, let us know what the problem was when you fix it.
