57903, Having trouble shifting
Posted by 2g99RSNC, Aug-26-03 11:05 AM
Ok i've got a new clutch and flywheel finally after a long break in i started to give it hell but i cant speed shift. It just grinds then finally goes in. It kind of feels like the clutch is not fully disengaging. it does fine at lower rpms but does this at higher rpms. Is there nething i should check. Does my clutch need to br rebleed?

Hum... I am not a Guru or anything, but maybe you messed up your syncronisers in the prosess:wary. Anyone?

Check your cables under the center console? Just a thought.

i'll check those but i have no trouble speed shifting i mean the clutch pedal is all the way to the floor and it still wont go in. I mean i can take my time push in the clutch and pull it back and it wont go in right but only does it at high rpms down below 6 its does perfect

it just feels like the clutch doesnt want to release at high rpms. And the syncros r fine i had the tranny inspected my a shop when the phantom grip was put in

Is the pedal a little soft? If so, try checking your fluids.

the pedal feels fine it just seem like it release at high rpms. earlier i reved it to the redline in 3rd with the clutch pushed in all the way and it made the car jerk forward like it was still catching

I used to have a 93 Mustang that had a similar problem. I had bad syncros, plus the mechanic had to replace a bent shift fork. If your syncros are fine, maybe it's a bad fork??
