Subject:85 manual Clutch and more shifting woes...
From:David J. Bohannan

All,

 

Its been quite some time that I have been dealing with these shifting
problems...but the problem seems to be �morphing� into a couple things�

 

Not only have I been having a hard time getting into gears (linkage?)
Now it seems at slow speeds that I can feel the clutch not completely
disengaging it sort of grabs a bit , but not enough to stall the engine.
At higher speeds I do notice that it seems it stays in gear until I pull
the shifter out of that gear �my brother recommended bleeding the
clutch�and I am going to get into that today�

 

I also just topped off the fluid in the tranny although it only took �
quart. I am planning on doing the Redline change but didn�t think it
would make that big of a difference up front�am I wrong??

 

I am curious as to what else could be causing this�someone else just
mentioned a pilot bearing!?!?

 

Thank you for ANY info you have�

 

Dave
