hey, i think im havin tranny problems. It seems like its gettin harder and harder to get into gear. It still goes into gear fine, but it seems as if its gettin "choppy" going into gear, like its not as smooth as it was. i changed the tranny fluid and it didnt help any. I have 120k miles on a stock clutch and the throw out bearing is goin so im puttin in a exedy racing clutch. could this problem have anyting to do with the clutch, the reason i think it doesnt is because its always like that even when the car is off, when my foot is on the clutch or not. should i have the tranny checked out when i get the clutch in??? what could it be?? i hope its not expensive im runnin low on resources!!

 

if your t/o bearing is going iw would get a new one in asap as when it goes it will lock the tranny and motor together making it near impossable to seperate the two....and yes, it MAY cause your shifting hardness...

 

Same thing happened to me when my clutch went last time. It was hard to shift into gear and would only go in when the rpm dropped to about 2k or so. I had the clutch changed and that fixed it. Although, now that I think of it, my mechanic said the old clutch wasn't completely fubar like I thought, so maybe it was more so caused by the throwout bearing.

 

it also happens when the car is off, and and my foot is on or off the clutch, thats why i think its the tranny

 

 

whould the bearing make it happen when the car is turned off??

 

How's the clutch master cyl fluid level ?
If it's very low maybe either the clutch master cyl or the clutch slave cyl is leaking fluid .
I see alot of these parts fail .

 

i checked it the other day its right where it should be and i just had the slave cyl replaced a few thousand miles ago. would this cause it to act like this even in neutral or when the car is off??
