RE: Clutch (Hard Shifting)
Threequestions:
Do you happen to have a picture of where to put the fluid in (still learning -
)
How smooth should shifting feel?
Should I hear any noise when I go into the gear?

RE: Clutch (Hard Shifting)
i don't have a pic right now but i may beable to find one floating around the web...
shifting should not me notchy, and driving normal it should be nice and easy
what kinda noise are u refering to? mine makes a slight noise into 2nd but i know why it does it, but no there shouldn't be any noticable noise, if u listen close u might hear a faint noise but nothing that should be concerning

RE: Clutch (Hard Shifting)
Right now it's not smooth, but that could be because I need fluid.
I will have to drive it with the radio turned off and listen to it above the exhuast and see if I can describe the noise. I might just record the noise - :P
I'll get some fluid and add it in and see what happens. I can try to search for a picture on the web but no idea what to search for.
I will say this, sometimes I have gotten it to go into the gear easily (as the saying goes like butter), it just slides in.
Thanks for the help.

RE: Clutch (Hard Shifting)
ugh, mines the same way, fluid is new, clutch is fine, cable is fine, I guess the synchros are messed up[:@] cant shift without a pause right before it goes into gear then it pops right in with abit of force, 5th gear is impossible to shift into and forget about reverse[:@]

I hope my syncrhos aren't messed up.
How much does it cost for a rebuild?

RE: Clutch (Hard Shifting)
I had this same problem with my 1990 5.0 coupe that I just bought. After I read this on Friday I went home and drained the 1 quart of fluid that was left in the trans and refilled it with synchromesh. It now shifts awesome. Thanks for the great advice 94gtcoupe.
