Originally posted by RoninEclipse2G Like Bullet said, check your cables first. If the bushings are shot, clips are missing or the cable is bent it can prevent things from fully engaging. Another thing to check would be for a bent/broken clutch fork. If the clutch isn't disengaging or the cables aren't fully actuating the gears then you'll get the same symptoms.
Is there a specific way to test the cables? I've put ATF 4+ oil in it and swapped it out twice so far. These problems started happening 2wks after I changed the clutch. I will re-check all of them thorougly and start posting pictures to see if someone can see what i'm not seeing. Where can I order new cables? (junk yards RARELY have this vehicle) Is there a set i can buy that will replace the cables, bushings, pins? I took it out yesterday to see if time might of solved the issue, worked before with other cars, and it was working fine till the engine warmed up...so i shifted slowly and revved slowly, never passed 3k, and what happened was the tranny worked fine till i shifted into 3rd gear. I will take it out again and see what happens if i avoid the 3rd gear all together. 3rd gear gets thrown out and then jacks up the whole shifting by holding onto gears, not shifting and what i hate the most it will engage a gear when i have the clutch in and cause the car to jerk hard so i brake to make it stop.
Take out the battery and look very closely at the cables. Look at the horseshoe clips and make sure that they aren't loose or missing. Look at the bushings and make sure they aren't shredded, swollen or just have a ton of play. Look at the cables themselves and make sure there aren't any kinks or bends in the cable and there isn't any unusual gunk on the cables. Sometimes heat can make a problem more noticable or go away, so that's hard to diagnose.
New cables and clips are available from the dealership, or you can try PMing Stangmurderer(sp) He has Miller import parts (you may have noticed the banner at the top of the site here) and often has those things for inexpensive. If the bushings are shot the best fix is to buy a cheap set of skate bearings and swap them out with the bushings.
At least take the time to eliminate the cheap/easy possibilities. In my experience it's usually a simple fix that acts like a big expensive problem.
Erik P. Official 2GNT thread Hijacker Some say that he's driven over more Covenant than he's shot, and that his grenades aren't where you'd expect them to be... All we know is, He's not The Stig... But he is The Stig's Spartan cousin!
