Flywheel/Clutch TSB and damaged transmission question
I heard if your shifting is getting a little notchy that it meant you had the flywheel tsb and it was affecting the transmission.
Is it normal for second gear to be a little harder to put into gear?
Like a bit more of a catch before it goes in entirely?
It's not hard to put into gear but it has a extra bit of a catch point
to slide all the way into second.
I don't have anything else happening.
To be honest it was like this every since we bought it 7 mo. ago.
We have only put 2k mi. on it but I was wondering if there was transmission problems would
it have gotten worse by 2k mi. more of driving?
There are no other symptoms.
Thanks!

oh also.. when i have it in neutral and try to put it in gear without the clutch
(someone said doing this lightly will test the tranny for the TSB), I get a slight noise.
Like a whisper of a eeeeeerrr. Just a whisper.
Is this normal?
Reason I'm asking is they said if it grinds that is the test that proves the tranny's synros are messed up from the TSB warped flywheel.
Just trying to cover some stuff folks!

Just in second? As in second is a little more than others?
Has anyone ever notice for some reason to me it seems like second is not
DIRECTLY below first. Maybe thats because of that little more notch it has.
Again the other gears I dont have this at all. And second is TINY (compared to a MGW set at 4 that is)
