hey i just noticed that my transmission is a little squicky when the clutch engages with the gear (only first). Its really hard to explain but i just noticed it and i was wondering if I should do something about this or if anyone else has ever had this problem. It just bugs me. I just installed aluminum shifter bushings if that makes any difference.

thnx

 

If your bushings are anything like energy suspension's urethane bushings then they require lube. I had a squeak back on a car with energy urethane bushing kit... i didnt lube them well enough

 

hmm. What did you use to lube them?

 

they had grease that came with the bushings.... i do not know the name of it but it was a clear thick grease, kind of like the grease you put on your brakes to stop squeal.

 

that could also be your throw out bearing does it sound like it is coming from the engine area or from inside the car

 

Mine don't squeak, but there is a mechanical crunch, sort of, when going into first and third. Third is worse(as we all know), but First sometimes will take a second to engage.
