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

Guys,
In my four I had the cable replaced with a terry cable,They had to shim
the rear fork area w/ many washers,mine disengages almost to the
floor,The tube was repaired years ago,Can the terry cable just be too
long??The cable goes around the oil filter back side looped if it moves
from that position the clutch drops to the floor,That is why I think
the cable is Too long.Can you take in more adjustment at the peddle
area? To compensate the fork adjustment??
