41400, Trans. problem Posted by tim96rs, Jan-11-03 10:54 AM My 96 mits. 1st and 2nd gear is very hard to shift. Before I moved from Alabama to Kansas it was doing fine. I was wondering if is the cold weather. When the trans. warms up it shifts fine. It has a new clutch and motor 3500 mi. on it. Any help would be nice. | |

41404, RE: Trans. problem Posted by 420aturbo, Jan-12-03 04:16 AM Could be the throw out bearing. Did they replace the throw out bearing when they did the clutch? | |

41405, RE: Trans. problem Posted by tim96rs, Jan-13-03 12:15 PM Yes I replaced the throw-out bearing. Got to reading in my chilton and I read some thing about adjusting the shifter cables. Do you think that could be it. | |

41406, RE: Trans. problem Posted by Nitrous_RS1997, Jan-13-03 01:20 PM Mine does it when its cold too...right in the manual it says its normal for it to be hard to shift when the engine is cold, i wouldnt worry. my first 1st-->2nd shift of the morning is always a little rough, after thats its fine. | |
