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 |

I'm sure the clutch tube is fine, so I guess its time to pull things apart. So I better get the Suby project on the road, considering I have space in my garage for exactly 1 car.
Another thing I noticed is that the clutch seems to have a very wide range of engagement. About 1/4 to 1/3 off the floor, the clutch engages a little. Only until about 3/4 or more up does it fully and completely engage. So it seems I have the engagement centered properly, but its just engaging over a huge range. -Tony |
