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 |

Tony, do a search and read up on clutch tube repair. The tube is attached in 3 places. A break at any of the 3 will cause it to flex and you will lose pedal travel (essentially the tube works as a pivot as well as a guide, and if the pivot point moves, the cable slackens).
