Car was fine yesterday, today had a b**** of a time shifting into 1st and 2nd. 3rd was giving me a fight as well, and 1st gave up the a** after a while (had to start from 2nd everytime I stopped).

I can dry shift fineMaster is fineClutch slave is fineClutch fluid is topped offTranny fluid is 3/4 in thereFork is pivotting ok (guessing pivot ball is ok).

So? bent fork? Release bearing holder spring? Pressure plate? Synchros shot (I was shifting fine yesterday)?

Also if any of the above, could you explain how that could be causing my shift problems (other than synchros).



PS: it's been cold out, and the car had been dying on me in neutral for about 2 weeks now (blamed it on fuel/vacuum issues.)

i recomend u to drain the oil in a container and check if there's metalic debribs on it... if you found small metallic parts is probably you have an internal problem withyour transmission...

f*** it, time to pull the transmission. This waiting for an answer isn't going nowhere.
