i'd say more than likely its something with your clutch?? unless you've ruled that out. does it feel loose at all?? my shifter actually came loose from my tranny on me, got worse over a few days and then *woop* i got a shifter comin 6 inches farther than normal outta the boot lol.

i doubt its the fluid though. check the level if ya feel like getting under there. make sure the car is jacked evenly if ya do that.

Well, no i havnt ruled that out at all, i just didnt want that to be it lol . Going into gear its just real rough and super knotchy and coming out its kinda sticky. My clutch pedal didnt seem right last night, but it could just be in my head. idk, ill try the tranny fluid, hopefully it helps. If not, whats a good clutch? Ive heard good things about the king cobra clutch
