Only Mods To DriveTrain is a Completetion Clutch Stage 4 with CC light flywheel. Car Has 95'000 mi.
Heres my problem, Driving On I-95 for about 45 mins. Get to the a Toll, Take Car out of
5th to netural, I come to a stop try put in 1st to start moving and wouldn't go into gear. Try 2nd,3rd, Reverse nothing would go in to gear. Got out Push it for a sec jump back in and some how popped in back in 1st. Then after car shifted fine, but its water temp is pretty high, and seems like car takes to long to get up to speed almost like clutch is slipping. But i dont seem any problems. Should i try some synchromesh fuild? Any opipion's??
 
as the world of dsms' ANYTHING is possible (like a stock 14b turbo putting one of these tanks in the mid 11's, and the same as a completely rebuilt engine can blow up in 100 miles.) i said a long time ago "for better or for worse,sickness and health, till death do us part" LOL nah, but she still gets me from point a to point b
 
To test if it's disengaging all the way:

1. Find a flat place to park the car.
2. Put it in first, keep the clutch pushed in.
3. With clutch still in and still in first gear rev the car to around 5k (jack's transmissions says to rev to redline)
4. If it moves at all then the clutch isn't disengaging all the way.

Also bleed your clutch system, check pedal adjustment, and if you haven't already, BUY A HAYNES MANUAL!

Good luck man, trans issues always scare me.
 
Thanks Guy. I think it might of got lodge in 5th so when i pulled it out thats why it wouldn't let me throw in any other gear. I dont know if thats possible.

That happened to me when my clutch wasn't disengaging all the way, when I took it out of 4th into neutral the mph's stayed the same (car was still on stands after clutch job) Put it into first though and it would pop out of 4th, scary stuff but once I adjusted the clutch master cylinder all was/is well.
 
A long time ago I had the fingers on the clutch pressure plate actually fail on my GSX. Pushing in the pedal wouldn't disengage it. As it was said above try the test where you start up the car in first with the clutch pedal down, if the car moves your clutch isn't disengaging. Try bleeding it first or replacing the slave cylinder, they're cheap and easy to replace.
 
But my clutch is working fine. I mean never anything like this. Just problems when I popped it out of fifth coast to a stop in netural. Then wanted to start going again, so engage clutch which had pressure and everything but trans would not let me in any gear. But works fine now. Fuild look,smells, and levels all fine. Just had slave and master cylinder done with-in 10,000 mi's.
