#6059, "Clutch Going Out???????"


          

Whenever I shift it feels like it gets stuck before it finally goes into gear. I almost have to jerk it into gear. Is my clutch going out? If not then what??

Try putting your car in second from a stop and then try to move. If it moves, it's not your clutch.

As far as engaging your stick into gear, it sounds more like a synchros problem. I advise acquiring a factory shop manual to better attack the problem. Everyone shoudl have one. They're always on sale at ebay for a little change.

Almost sounds like the problem I had, my clutch master cylinder went out and I had to fight with it in almost every gear, does it feel like you clutch goes down alot farther than normal before it catches...if it does, you clutch master is going out, only cost me about $180 to get it fixed.

Hope this helped!

Yea, it feels like i almost have to put it too the floor before it engages. If that is the problem, is there an aftermarket one that i should get, maybe that would last longer. Or stick with a stock one? $180,? Sh*T there goes the money that i was savin for a UDP.

#6063, "Your clutch pedal might need adjustment"
In response to Reply # 0


          

If you have the clutch pedal all the way to the floor and then when you let out it engages right off the floor, it needs adjustment. This also makes it difficult to get it in gear and shifting quickly is near impossible. If the clutch engages when you lift your foot a couple of inches off the floor then it is not an adjustment problem. You might also have a throwout bearing going bad.

I myself would adjust the clutch properly, drain the transmission fluid and put in BG Synchroshift, completely flush the clutch fluid with good Dot 5.1 brake fluid(synthetic/nonsilicone). This might help and could not hurt.
