Basically, new trans and everything, i didnt beat on it for first 2000 miles and i rarely go to red line or shift over 4K

Everything has been shifting fine, but today it has been harder to get in to ALL gears...i thought syncros at first but it is every single gear, itll be hard to go in to gear the it will go in like butter

it is going into chevy in the AM, wtf could it be?

 

Linkage probably needs adjusted or the plastic clip is bad

 

hmmm never thought about that either, i know they are plastic pieces of ****, cause the clutch doesnt slip and grabs amazingly as it did when i got it put in

 

If it was the clutch, it wouldn't be a "grab" issue. It would be a "doesn't release all the way" issue. That would probably just mean you needed to bleed the CMC/slave.

 

thats what i was thinking too, maybe they bleed it well enough because you need to bleed the **** out of my clutch

 

Yea, there is no problem with the releasing BTW.

 

any other opinions?

 

im in for suggestions too. a buddy of mine has a SS/TC with a brand new trans and clutch and he has the same problem getting it into gears.

 

This exact thing happend to my brothers SS. The Dealer replaced his shifting cables. They told him they were seized. He got the repair done for free because it's covered under warranty.

 

O i forgot to say it got fixed and feels as good as new lol

 

well its at dealership now ill find out

first thing guy says is if its the clutch its not covered, i know its not the clutch and i know its not covered....

its most likely the slave, cause is hasnt really acted up since, maybe some air got into the system -_-

 

LMFAO GM said my clutch is worn out....hahahahha not.....just trying to get more money out of ******* bastards, i dont blame them, they did do over 5000$ of work for free

there is no slipping, no grab or release problem, i think their mechanics are retarded

 

Pump the clutch pedal 3 or 4 times, then try to put it in gear. If it goes in more easily, you just need to bleed it.

 

It has air trapped in the line causing the clutch to drag. Manually bleed it from the top of the clutch housing 3-4 times and repeat in a few days. It takes a while to get all the air out of the slave on these. I had the same issue after a clutch/slave install on my LNF.

 

Air can get in the system at anytime right

 

Just to add when I'm stopped and I rev it up it seems like the tachometer goes down pretty slow is that normal

 

<-- hates reviving an old thread but it happened again tonight.

only does it after sitting in the cold, temperatures have been like 32*

 

Sounds like it could be different than stock fluid? If you have some other type of trans fluid, it will, change the effort required by the synchros to engage. Although I wouldn't expect that to happen at a dealership, that's usually what causes the issues you are seeing.

 

ive been doing research to, on different forums and sites, even tho they are liek STi's its still manual, people were saying that when the temp drops the oil gets thicker and makes it harder for the gears to move in smoothly. they said wait longer til the car is at opeerating temps

what exactly is good operating temps on a cold start i usually wait for coolant to be like 135*

i should have also added in the very first post that this only happens on a cold start

 

I get stiff shifts when she's cold too. The coolant temp isn't gonna tell you much in terms of the tranny but driving it around and actually putting load on it will warm up the fluid. For me, after 5-10 mins of actual driving it seems much better and I let my car sit and warm up too.

 

Coolant temp isn't your trans. You could let it idle til the engine is up to normal operating temp (190-210) and your trans, axles, etc will all still be cold. This is why its not very useful for the people who idle the car til its warm then beat on it still break stuff and tell you how they don't understand because the engine was warmed up.

 

This. I let my car warm up to abt 100 in the mornings. Then I drive easy until its around 180.

 

hmmmmm..i have to tell you guys the amount of force i had to use to get into first gear was a pretty decent amount, and when i turned the car off, it kind of didnt want to go in gear either but once in it was fine

 

Same here. I don't understand how people are so worried about engine temp and ignore everything else. It's certainly not the only thing in a vehicle with fluid.

 

So guy at aamco drove the car said its Def not the clutch possibly could be the slave
