Here is the deal. When the car is off my transmission shifts fine. When the car is on at a stop and the clutch is in, i go through the gears and it feel rough. When driving, going through the gears, it feels smoother but every now and then it will feel rough going into gear. When downshifting from a roll to 2nd at like 30-50mph it feel like there is a wall in the way and i have to force it into gear. Also after shifting into 2nd but keeping the clutch in then shifting out and going back to fifth feels the same way,like there is a wall in the way but i can break through with some force. Anyone got some suggestions on what the problem is?

For reference, its a 98+ jdm type r tranny with exedy stage 1 clutch.

 

your transmission is fine, your problem sounds like its the clutch is not disengaging

 

yeah i've came to that conclusion on my own, but why is it not engaging?

i am going all that and it is still not going in smooth

 

anyone else have any suggestions before i go to work on it, because i wanna do everything at one time while i'm out to work on it. Like, from a stop its kinda hard to shift through, but driving normally from 1-5 shifting at like 3000-3500 and when WOT it shifts fine, but downshiting is really tough, even if i rev macth (double clutch).

 

Have you done anything to the tranny/clutch lately? Like mentioned above, your clutch isn't disengaging all the way. Oh and rev-matching is your friend, use it.

 

i used to always rev match after i put it into gear (push in clutcc, put into lower gear, rev up, let out clutch), i will now start doing it before. The only work we did was change the seal in the transmission where the shiftlinkage meets the tranny. and i did start noticing it being a little rougher after that, could we have done something then?

 

Try bleeding your clutch...

 

Bleed the clutch and that should help. Also if there is alot of play in the pedal you may want to adjust it. The squeeking is more than likely where the slave cylinder pushes the fork on the trans. Just open up that little slit by the slave cylinder and spray some wd 40 in there. This may help the clutch pedal feel a little smoother also.

 

alright i'll try all that this weekend, thanks for the help, i will let ya'll know how it works out
