So I ran into a funny symptom this morning: With the engine cold and just starting it up, the shifter would not go into any gear, and some grinding when I try to go into 1st or reverse. After warming it up and revving a few times it shifts fine. I haven't seen it quite like this before. It's shifting smoothly with no resistance once everything's rolling. I think maybe the shift bushings need replacing, but it's mainly some clutch adjustment problem.
I just checked the clutch pedal height: 6 ins. Not within specs. The P/O was taller and bigger than myself, too big I think for a Spyder. I'm wondering why it causes a problem when starting up and then shifts normally afterwards.
