I recently got my car back from the transmission shop. I had sent it there due to a bad master cylinder and hard shifting. Let me list the symptoms I had prior to my latest problem:
Tried all the other gears. Nothing there either. I forgot to try going into reverse though. Anyway, I towed it back to the shop and they are telling me it's most likely my clutch. While I believe them, I don't want to ask them to replace my clutch if it's something less serious. I already wasted $250 by having them work on it. And a transmission shop couldn't tell me that my clutch was wearing out? I'm tired of being ripped off and I need some sound advice.
Edit: This is a 1996 Eagle Talon TSi. AWD transmission. Currently running an XTD stage 4, 6 puck (Previous owner installed it less than 4 months ago. I bought the car back from him this past November)
- "Sticky" shifting. It would go into gear but it was hard to move the shifter around. Even in neutral it would barely wiggle.
- Clutch pedal went soft.
