tranny....NEED HELP ASAP!
ok....eailer today car was hard to shift in and out of gears.....well tonight....the car wont shift into or out of gears when car is running. my thought is the trowout bearing....is this correct? i can turn the car off put it in 1st and start it up and it will drive in 1st....i can press the clutch in and push the gas and the car still accels....so im guess thorwoutbearing??? please HELP ASAP! i have a stage2 ACT, and lightweight flywheel....i have been hearing the "knock" from the thorwout bearing for some time now....can someone confirm my thought??
could it be cause of low fluid instead??? it shifts smooth when the car is off.
i did all the work myself to my car but i do not want to take the tranny to change the thorwout bearing again....so what is a good price to pay to have it done?

how bout your shifter rods? have they bent since dropping the tranny? when the engine is running, is the shifter stuck and can't move, or does it grind when trying to change gears?

Not sure if this will help you but I was having trouble getting my car into gear after the clutch install.
The mechanic adjusted my pedal because he thought it may not have been properly disengaging the clutch. So far changing gears is much better although first gear is a little hard at times.
Can't tell you exactly what he did but he told me at the floor it was probably not fully disengaged.

if you look on the firewall, there is a circle thing that the clutch pedal hits. you can screw it up and down to adjust it.
and yeah, synchros can break all of a sudden, esp if fluid is low. but usually they wear down first.
