Ok first off... I have searched and I have read and tried many things.

Heres my problem. It is hard to shift gears, its like trying to shift into a brick wall sometimes. I recently just put a new clutch in it in the fall. F1 racing off ebay.. * I know cheap **** and I shouldn't have done it*. A couple months later it started to get hard to shift and it just got progressively worse. I change clutch master, and slave, removed damper. Bleed everything correctly no air. Adjusted the clutch pedal. Still can't shift. Sometimes when I was in gear the car would move forward with the clutch pedal down as if it was an automatic *clutch was grabbing slightly somehow*.

Now a little background info... when I did the clutch change I put mobil 1 synthetic in it... which I later found to be GL5 and I read that eats synchros *so i'm totally kicking myself in the ****.

My question is... Do you think my synchros are bad? Do you think possibly its the ****ty ebay clutches pressure plate? Or should I try adjusting the pedal some more?

I just don't want to buy a new clutch and transmission when thats not the problem *but i'm pretty sure thats what needs to happen*... BTW I will be going exedy.

Thanks a lot everyone... And I already know i'm a retard for putting the GL5 and messing up my baby

no flaming I did hours of searching

your clutch is perfectly fine..if you changed your SC and that didnt work try your MC..if that doesnt do it i think you need a new transmission...if thats the case i would write that company and tell them they suck bawls and pay for a new transmission

Are you pressing in on the clutch pedal?jk

I talked to an oil engineer for Pennzoil after argueing for hours about GL5 hurting brass with a mechanic trying to sell me GL5... The engineer said that GL5 does hurt brass but it takes time. If your clutch was put in like last month or something I doubt the GL5 has done enough damage to really effect your syncros. Also, he said GL5 really only damages brass if it mixes with water... but I still run GL4
