Is there any relationship between idle speed and gear grinding when going into 1st and Reverse? My car idles a little over 1000 rpm and it is now tough getting into 1st when stoppoing at intersection. Makes a hell of a racket.
It never did this before it was put away last yr. Can this grinding be adjusted out by the clutch adjustment? Clutch pedal is pretty soft and mushy. It engages right off the floor. How do you know if clutch tube is broken? Car shifts ok into 2-5 and back down. Is this a synchro problem? Sorry for alll the questions. Just trying to figure out what to look at first. Figured someone out there has run into this already. Thanks |

The higher idle doesn't do your transmission any favors, but the symptoms point to a clutch that is out of adjustment. And possibly in need of replacement. And/or possibly a clutch tube in need of help.
Look through the holes in the top of the center tunnel (e.g., where the gear shift lever goes through, and where the heater lever was before you removed it to be able to see). Can you see the clutch tube moving from side to side when you push the pedal down? --DD |
