it was hard shifting into gears so i changed my tranny fluid to HG MTF and it didnt help ... now its getting even harder to change gears but theres is no grinding noise. im pretty sure it shouldnt be like this, but is it normal with this type of shift linkage versus a cable system?

 

check your shift linkage bushings and also make sure the linkage isnt bent.

 

alright ill check that ,, it shouldnt be that tho cuz it only does it when im driving .. i know i put enough fluid in there cuz it started to come out of the fill plug when i changed it.

 

Here's a wild guess, your clutch disc is bad. The spring may have popped out and is stuck between the disc and pressure plate causing it hard to get into gears.

 

^^^^^sounds like a good excuse to get a new clutch

thats exactly what i was thinking...i mean it is a 94 when is the last time the clutch was changed?

 

your probably right but its not slipping .. would it still cause this type of problem?

 

Im having this same problem. all within the last couple months ive put a new clutch in, new cmc and slave cylinder, mtf has been flushed several times, ive looked over the linkage.. my hard shifting will come and go. i can shift through the gears fine some times smooth as butter, then all of the sudden it will feel like total slop going into gear. I want to hope that its just some air in my system, but ive bled it out several times.. this is starting to get frusterating

 

sorry to hear about that the only left would something INSIDE the tranny itself ...

anyone other suggestions?

 

bump

This just happend to me a couple days ago. The cheapo clutch that was installed before i bought my dc2 had this slice of metal fall out when it was pulled apart. the metal chunks would wedge between the disc and plate and cause all sorts of issues, shaking on take off, hard shifting etc. Bought a new Exedy stage 1 clutch kit and resurfaced my flywheel. Drives like a dream now.

 

you prolly need a new tranny...go get it checked you might have an internal problem...

 

ok cool looks like i need a new clutch

 

if its not grinding why are you going to get a new clutch???you might have an internal problem...go to a shop and have it checked before you waste your money and buy something you dont really need

 

yeah i had that problem with my old transmission. i switched it out and gave my old one to a friend that rebuilds transmission. he told me that when he opened up my old transmission the bearings were pretty much gone and he could really only salvage the housing.

 

jr408&gt; i may have a spring that came out of my disc and its starting slip on the top end so i would be killing two birds w/ one stone,, what would the tranny shop tell me that i already dont know? its hard shifting and may be an internal problem.
