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

Yes, Terry is too long, but easily remedied by inserting a piece of tubing under the adjust nut.
