Lately, sometimes when I start in first, my car feels like it is about to stall no matter how much gas I give it. The other night, I was leaving my friends house and when I came up to a stop sign, I couldn't put it in to gear, I went through every gear and it wouldn't budge. Finally about five min. later, it loosened up. I didn't drive it more than a few miles or a couple of days. Today, however, it started to tighten up again and was harder to put in gear. What do you think is the problem. (FYI, I checked my tranny fluid and there seems to be enough, and it pretty clean) Thanks for any input.

 

Linkage (although I wouldn't know why it would get easier then harder), maybe clutch/clutch fluid?

 

thanks for the help, anyone else have any input, i appriciate it.

 

Dragging clutch perhaps? Dunno about the changing though. Bent or broken pressure plate springs?

 

Pull the tranny and check the clutch out. I bet the springs are damaged.

 

check the clutch cable. It could be too tight or to loose. Just something to check.

 

that actually happened with the cable about two months or so ago, so it was replaced. So I don't think that would be it, also, the tension in the clutch seems to be, for the most part, fairly normal most of the time. Thanks for the suggestion though.

 

clutch is hangin proly due to a broken spring

 

anyone else have any input?

If its a hydro trans, check your slave and your fluid level. I know when a slave is starting to go bad, it will catch really low or not engage or disengage at all, until you pump it up.

 

does it go thru the gears fine with the car off?
if so, then your clutch is done

why bump it, if you didn't answer my question?
answering the question will help me, to help you

 

my bad, i must not have been paying attention. When it got stuck, I didn't turn it off to check, i just worked it until it loosened up, so I am not sure.
