Sometime I find my 3rd gear hard to get in...is it normal? I remember having this issue with my MSP with 2nd gear...
Maybe because I'm not used having a normal shifter? (The MSP was my first m/t car and had a short shifter from factory) Edit: Forgot to specify I have a 6 point ceramic clutch is this information could be useful This post has been edited by TheChildOfTheSea: May 3, 2011 - 1:36 AM |

does it feel like its entering the gate or a mushy feeling?
if its not entering the gate then its gonna be with the trans/clutch itself. but if it feels mushy and not entering a gate then id look into your shifter cables. if its your shifter cables you'll soon not have 5th then 4th, 2nd gearings almost in that order -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island

I can now shift into first before stopping, and my 5th gear popout has stopped. But I will need a tranny someday. Also I blead my clutch slave and the oil looked like it was black ink and water so I think that would help. The little self bleeder from autozone(about 7.99) makes that a simple job. |
