When the car is running and you try to shift it into gear with the clutch depressed it starts to roll after it gets rolling a little it will pop into gear an somewhat shift normally. I was told it could be a broken pressure plate or spring from the hub or possibly a bent fork? I'm going to try to bleed the new slave tomorrow and see if that makes a difference and I'll check the linkage. The thing that stares me away from it being the linkage is that once I get it going it shifts with no problems it's just engaging it the first time from a dead stop

 

Grinding has more to do with your syncros than anything else I believe. My issues is at a stand. If its rolling it'll go into gear fine.

 

I will bring this up with him... Sounds like it might just be this...

Any other suggestions?

 

If lube is the problem. Make sure your mechanic doesn't overlube the input because that can destroy your clutch.

 

Well the grinding issue I just figured was because the clutch wasn't being fully disengaged when I was trying to shift causing it to grind as if I wasn't using the clutch at all.

 

Have you adjusted your pedal? Bleed clutch?
I did both and adjusting pedal higher seemed to helped. Bleed clutch and air came out a bit but still a bit hard to go into gear...

Do my clutch in pic look like it's releasing all the way?

I think we both are having disengagement issues.

 

I'm going to bleed the clutch again tomorrow and hope that solves the problem if not I'll probably try to adjust it higher but again I doubt that will help as the pedal shouldn't have moved from the previously workin position.

 

As your clutch wears, it gets thinner and modern slave cylinders adjust for this... hence the need to adjust the clutch from time to time especially if you've never adjusted before.

 

Here's a how to in case anyone needs it.

Will do. Thanks. The input shaft is always spinning with the flywheel correct?

 

sounds like clutch drag

 

I thought it was to until I rev'd it to 5k clutch in on 1st gear... Car didn't move.

 

No. Your input shaft is splined to the clutch, it only should spin when your foot is off the clutch. The flywheel and pressure plate spin at all times with the engine. Your TOB also slides back and forth on the input shaft. If it isn't greased properly it can bind and your clutch won't fully release making it hard to shift when the engine is running.

 

Man that make so much more sense now...

 

Unfortunately the mechanic said he already greased it up...

If my "pill" is clogged would it have this symptom? Hard to shift issue
