I've noticed lately on my daily driver, that after a few minutes of driving (maybe 10) it becomes difficult to shift into 1st from a sstop without grinding.
Going into second gear and then into first helps a little. So talking with Phantom914 at work today and Bondo on the phone, it seems like it is either the clutch nnot disengaging completely, or the release bearing is stuck. Has anyone else had a similar situation? Its getting really annoying to drive for more than a few minutes. -Tony |

Okay so during lunch today I took off the cover at the firewall on the tunnel and as I pushed the clutch down I could see the tube move. Its not moving a lot, but its defintiely flexing and there is some small amount of movement.
Also noticed this morning that just after I started it up, it ground into 1st and 2nd for a few minutes and then was better, as if it needed heating up or who knows. Tonight I'll put it up on stands and take a look underneath and see whats going on at the firewall. I believe the tube was already welded there by a PO. -Tony |
