Im going to extend it and bleed it so I get a full stroke of the master during bleeding. Car off it helps if i put it in 1st then reverse slides in...I extended out the master about 1 turn before work today...reverse not really any easier but when i got home in the garage tonite i pushed the clutch to the floor and held it. went through the gears 1 thru 6 and it goes right in reverse with car running much better...back out of reverse a couple more shifts with pedal still on floor and car running stationary naturally...went from 1st to reverse...2nd to reverse...no problem....let out of clutch...tried to go straight to reverse...no dice....weird...after my bleed im going to do the rev test and see how the gears feel speed shifting and whatnot...maybe I'll try a fluid change to something else too (Amsoil now)
I havnt done the rev test or high speed shifts yet at this current adjusted spot...im not adjusted out far enough yet to get that really putting strain on the pp feeling though so maybe another turn adjusted out and she'll get better...not sure if we call this progress or not

Also, with car off, as you told me today, you are still having a hard time getting into reverse, correct? As I told you on teh phone today, I personally feel that is tranny related.
reverse is normally a gear that is weird on ALL cars, and over the years, I have gotten so use to putting in 1st, rolling forward, and THEN going into reverse, REGARDLESS of what car it is. To many times I have hopped in a car, and it would grind going into reverse, so I just make it a practice to do teh 1st to reverse thing when drivin a manual.
Have tried speed shifting it? (without me going back over every post, save me some time) Normal driving? fast shifting? How are the forward gears under that type of driving? |
