stupid tranny

[hurleyboi514]

my tranny started acting up 2nite. &nbsp;it wouldnt shift into gear, it would just grind or not go in at all. &nbsp;if i rev match, i can drive it, so needless to say, im gettin pretty good at that <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> so, i guessed it was the syncros, but could it be something else? &nbsp;what should i check out? &nbsp;should i just dump this tranny and try and pick up a new one? &nbsp;thanks...

hurleyboi ...sounds like the throw out bearing just went on
your clutch. thats happen to me before. check it out first
before you invest in a new tranny.

have you tried to check or change even you clutch master cylinder, I had the same sort of prblem, it was my clutch master.

I changed it and the slave and it works awesome now.

Peace

ok, i just ordered a clutch release bearing, and ive examined the lines and cylinders, and i havent noticed any leaks or anything... &nbsp;but if the CRB doesnt fix it, ill look into replacing the master then the slave. &nbsp;thanks!

Just check the throwout bearing before ordering it. &nbsp;Get underneath, look at the slave cylinder piston, and see if it moves when someone pushes in the clutch for you. &nbsp;If not, it'll probably be leaking fluid around the piston. &nbsp;If everything appears normal, wiggle loose the rubber inspection boot, and look on the bottom of the bellhousing for throwoutbearing pieces. &nbsp;If that's all there, the only thing left is synchros. &nbsp;Is your tranny rumbling?

have anyone had problems with shifting in to 1st gear while the car is rolling to a stop (like 1 or 2 mph)? it grinds pretty bad but if I make a complete stop and then shift to 1st it's fine. i just brought this car so I don't know if this is normal or not?

ok, i examined everything again today. &nbsp;i bled the clutch, and after that, it was amazing!! &nbsp;it was silky smooth! &nbsp;but, it went bad again... &nbsp;so, i think its gotta be in the hydraulic system then, right? &nbsp;so, i checked it out, and the slave was sorta wet. &nbsp;it was leaking around teh bleed valve, at the base. &nbsp;so, i ran over to the junk yard, and i replaced it w/ what looks to be a good one. &nbsp;ill try it out 2nite, since i was almost late for class, i didnt get to bleed the clutch yet. &nbsp;ill keep ya updated!
