4219, whats up with my trans?
Posted by turbo8u, Apr-13-05 06:17 AM
only when the motor and tranny are COLD does it not want to shift into first at all when stopped unless i rev it up a little bit. and once i get it in gear, it seems like the clutch is partially engaged still. also sometimes have a hell of a problem downshifting into second (intermittenly) unless i rev match it. if i come to a stop in gear it bogs out and acts strange unless i pull it into neutral (once again, intermittenly...) trans fluid is new and full, i bled the whole system and the clutch pedal feels perfectly normal. i noticed the clutch fluid was really murky like its been eating a seal or something, so i basically flushed the whole system. could my master or slave just be acting up on me?

once the car is warm though its much easier to get into gear...:wtf

is my tranny on its way out or what?

Could be a speed gear bearing crapping out and binding.

mother fuckin spec stage 3...its all pointing to that

ive talked to a few guys on here and they were having the same problems, its a spec thing....

fuck, so yank my trans and send it back for another one and risk having the same problems again or just go with a southbend or CM clutch.

its really weird though, its very intermittent....and doesnt do it all the time. its just weird to me that it just decides to start acting like a dumbass 10,000 miles after i installed it

well isnt that hilarious...i have 10k on mine, and its being a bitch...

i e-mailed spec and this is what they sent me:

We haven't had any documented pressuer plate issue on that application, so I have no info for you. Maybe it's just a linkage wearing or maybe some pilot runout has caused a spring to pop out of the disc..?/ What does the pedal feel like..any different than normal?
