Tried to drive the R today. While driving first gear works fine and when i try to shift from 2nd to third the gear doesnt go in. Feels like its blocked. In another words it feels like im trying to shift without pressing the clutch. I also had this happen from third to fourth gear. I tried to warm up the car but isnt doesnt seem to help. Possibility of the clutch going bad? what do you guys think?

had same problem, didnt want to go into second. pulled off the trans, one of the springs on the clutch disk broke.

Just a n00b

What I'm thinking.

OP, time for a new clutch...

I'm having a similar problem with my car.........it goes into every gear, it's just that I have to push it in a lot harder than normal. Any input?

You may have a worn 3-4 sleeve set. A common problem with most B-Series transmissions.

If the clutch pedal pressure hasn't gotten stiffer and engaging lower and the resistance is very gear-specific, then it's most likely the synchro set/gear. Third and fourth are on the same synchro set so it's not unusual to lose the opposing paired gear when one is damaged.
