<u>Clutch Problems:</u>

Sticky shifting from 2nd to 3rd/ 3rd to 4th? As in they get stuck and I have to push it in pretty hard.

Popping/knocking/grinding while aggresively shifting

Have to push the clutch in to the floor to shift.

Time for a new clutch, huh?

<u> Exhaust/Engine Problems </u>

When I jump on it I kick out a lot of black smoke. Someone told me that it may be my piston rings frying up? I do burn A LOT of oil so I think that the black smoke is due to the oil.

<u> Wheel Problem </u>

Driver front wheel has a high pitch noise coming from it... what should I look into tightening?

 

 

maybe you dont got enough MTF in there. or you need to change your MTF

do you have a hydo clutch? if so, bleed the lines, and check if u got enuf fluid

 

for the clutch it sounds as if you have no fluid in it, bleed the clutch and tell us how it goes after that

and if your burning oil, and its black smoke, then yes its a good chance its your piston rings

and no clue about the wheel except maybe wheel bearing or axle

 

think the syncro might be the problem but not 100% sure is there a grinding noise

or does the shifter keep wanting to pop out of gear?

 

No, its fine once I get it in gear.

When I bought the car two years ago, the previous owner said that the clutch would probably need to be replaced in a year. So should I just go ahead and replace it or bleed the lines first?

 

clutch friction plate glazed? may need to replace it.

start with the basics...when was the last time u changed ur tranny oil?
