Hey guys, this crap just started yesterday. It's been harder than hell to put it into 1st gear at a stop light and difficult to shift into 2nd. I just thought that it was the cold weather but thats not it. Another problem is that technically if you are sitting still with the clutch pushed in, you should be able to put it into any gear (maybe except reverse). I was just sitting still with the car running, putting it through the gears and it would not go into 3rd- it just grinds. So, is there a transmission rebuild in my near future?

It sounds like your clutch is not dis engauging. Do you still have the stock plastic self adjusting clutch quadrant?

no i have an aftermarket aluminum quadrant, havent checked that. Also at around 2k rpms (any gear) ive got a vibration in the shifter and the center of the car. Any ideas?

It sounds like your cable is loose. Adjust it. If you dont have an adjustable cable get one. Check your motor mounts, trans mount, and u-joints.

tough w. everygear=clutch problem, possible its ALL your syncros, but highly unlikely
just a select few=syncros
vibrations=way to many options, ujoints, mounts, something bent, something outa place, etc, etc.
