When we was the old trans. out they took it to the table and took the old clutch and throw-out bearing out of it before I could look at it. Well, when I was putting the new ones on I put the throw-out bearing back on the clutch fork, and I dont remember if the metal ring side was facing the clutch or if the plastic square looking side was facing it.

Anyways, the reason that Im asking is b/c in the morning when I start the car it sounds like there is a rattling coming from it, but once I move the car a little bit then its fine. Another thing, is that the gears are kinda hard sometimes to go in, the other day it acted like I didnt even have the clutch pushed in even when I did. It just acted like something was blocking it from going in gear, so I pumped the clutch then it eventually went into gear. I topped off the fluid last week, and it doesnt appear to have any leaks anywhere.

Anyone have any suggestions on what it might be b/c I dont want to mess this trans. up? Thanks for any help!

BTW, In the morning if I push in on the clutch the rattle stops, then starts again when I let it out till I actually drive the car a few feet.
