FWD Transmission

[NReinsel]

Yet another problem... I was driving home in a storm, and everything was working fine beside the fact that my wipers must of came with my car back in 1990, but I was shifting while going up a few hills, then I was downshifting to slow down at the bottom of one, and it was really hard to get into gear. Then it was like that the whole way home. I honestly don't think its my clutch, because it has less than 500 miles on it; its brand new. And the disengagement is still as perfect as the day I first had it on the road. Please help me, its my DD, and I love my car. Haha

Probably your slave master cylinder

I have a brand new slave on it, and I actually replaced the master cylinder today with another one I had just to be sure. The disengagement is still the same.

What about bleeding it, it may still have air in the lines. Also check the cables at the tranny, mine started to act up before the boot finally separated and revealed a torn cable

You still can get it into gear though, correct? I was just going to suggest checking out the cables as well. I've had one tear on me too, and it was not fun trying to get it into any gear. Are you losing any clutch fluid?

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/new...dden-shifting-difficulties-broken-clutch.html is good thread. I'm assuming everything has been replaced with the new clutch install then its probably in the adjustment since your break in period has expired

I bled it multiple times after I installed the different master cylinder today, and its still acting the same. But its really got me stumped because it can go into any gear pretty easily when the car is off, so I'm not sure if I bent a fork or what.

That link that you just posted-incredible. Those are the EXACT same symptoms mine has. I think I'll be tearing off my tranny in the next couple of days, and buying my first ACT product, and getting rid of my 60$ ebay chunk of shit clutch.

Update:
I pulled my trans this morning, and to my surprise, my TOB, pressure plate, and disc are all intact and look fine. This worries me. I did order a new clutch kit, so thats on the way. But i dont want to spend money fixing something that is brand new and still works. Anybody that has thoughts, let me know, because I go to school in august, and I miss my car.
