tranny question
About a year ago i started having problems with my tranny. In the morning i would go start my car and i wouldnt go into first gear. I had to kinda push it in easily even though i didnt want to. I lived about 30 minutes away from work and i didnt have any problems other then what had usually happened in the morning. Well after a while it wouldnt go into gear when i would leave for work.
I talked to some mechanics and they said it could be my slave and clutchmaster cylinder. Which my clutchmaster cylinder was leaking so i changed it. Right after i changed it, it was worse then before. My mechanic told me that u have to bleed the system for a long time to make sure there isnt any air at all. He bled the system for about 45 minutes and it still was worse.
Now im at the point where i have to shove it into gear or it wont go in,BUT after like 10 minutes of driving it kindagoes away and sometimes maybe once a day it shifts perfect for about 30 seconds. I aslo noticed a lil whine that u can barely hear while im driving but when i press down the clutch it goes away. I also feel like the clutch isnt engaging all the way i did a search and im just confused maybe i need a new clutch which the clutch was only like 8 months old it was a centerforce dual friction stage 3. What do u think? thanks for the help

I had the same problems with my tranny I still do till this day. My advice start fresh with a different tranny and take care of it. Youll probably save money rather then trying to fix the tranny itself which may cost more to rebuild. Just my two cents
thats exactly what i was thinking but id rather do trial by error b-c if the tranny isnt bad i dont want to get rid of it and if its just the clutch then i would buy a new one. its just a pain in the *** to take off the tranny to see whats the problem and i just dont feel like doing it, id rather pay someone to do it. i just dont know.
