Its has been awhile since I have messed with a DSM and have a trans question. The car is a 95 GSX if that helps and/or makes a difference.
Before I get started, here is what I'm working with;
New clutch and pressure plate, new TOB, oem (resurfaced) flywheel, new pivot ball, new clutch fork and new fluids. Clutch has been bled and both the master and slave are in good working order.
Alright, now that that is out of the way, just got the trans installed and went to run it through all the gears. 1st and 2nd are smooth as butter. 3rd and 4th are near impossible (without a bit of force) and 5th and reverse are just stubborn. This trans had been sitting dry for about a year to year and a half before I bought it. Would that make it difficult to move the shift forks? If so, will driving it in 1st and 2nd get the fluids moving and worked through enough to loosen everything up? I have to drive this car across the country, I know I know...that's a sketchy idea, and just need to make sure this transmission isnt trash.
Thanks in advance.
