car goes into gear but i really have to play with it....but the gears dont grind...and i cant get into reverse .... any suggestions as to what may be the problem ive opened up the trans and can not find anything visibly broken inside...

 

bump.........

 

Have you checked the pressure plate at all? A broken pressure plate will cause the clutch not to disengage properly. Does it smell like the clutch is burning?

 

no smell at all...for some reason i think its in the linkage.....so i changed them, but im still getting the same issue....

check your pressure plate, check the piece that makes the shift forks move up and down. it's held be three 10mm screws, if that plate is bendt you'll have a hard time getting it in gear!

 

the piece that makesthe shifter forks move is what is broken....anyone know what its called ?? so i can order up a new one....

 

which #?

 

which #?

 

I am having the EXACT same issue. The tranny doedn't grind, but finding the gears is difficult, like the linkage isn't lining up. I figured the shift fork or something was bent inside the tranny.

you probably broke the plate on part #4, i had a friend that tore the screws that hold that piece down. he could only get the car to go into 5th gear, and he drove it home from the track(60+ miles away)

 

yup my first gear was hard to put into at times... i thought i had a bad pilot bearing. but i found it was the slider forlk want bad. i heard its due to resting your hand on the shifter while driving???

 

my mechanic who i think is a fool is telling me my syncors are done but there is no grinding and he says this means nothing at all
