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 |

I'm inteterested in comments about this too. I do know that if it engages right off the floor, it's too loose. I have this same thing in my car and mine engages near the top. But I'm going to tighten mine up more so it engages nearer to the top. I think the pedal is supposed to have about 1/2 inch of travel at the top?

If it's too close to the floor/cable too loose, it may "seem" like it disengages, but any warp-age at all will cause problems. |
