I was at the strip the other day and now something is wrong with my transmission. It has trouble going into every gear and will grind occasionally. I checked the clutch fluid and it was at the full mark. I haven't checked the transmission fluid yet but it sounds like the shifter fork isn't meshing up with any of the gears or the clutch isn't fully disengaging. The clutch isn't slipping or anything so I don't think that it has to do with the clutch itself, but I'm new with manual transmissions so I don't know for sure. If anyone can help me it would be great because I finally got the damn car up and running again. Thanks.
 
-Bleed the system.
-Slave cylinder
-Master cylinder
-Pivotball
-Clutch fork

Go from cheapest/easiest to more expensive, If the problem still continues. Usually if you blow the slave or master out, It's a good idea to change both at the same time. If you need a clutch fork or pivot ball, You mitezwell do both while you're in there.
 
well if the problem started while you were at the strip you have have messed up a shift fork or tore up one of the synchro's. your clutch may not be fully disengaging, and does the car still grind while going into reverse? if it does its not a shift fork bacuse reverse uses its own seperate from the forward gears from my experience with other transmissions.
