Any Ideas as to the cause(s) of the following symptoms (Hoping to be at the
Nationals in Portland):
1. First sign of trouble was difficulty in
down shifting to second. Shift linkage felt stuck, even if I came
to a full stop I still had to pull much harder
than normal to get it out of third. First and second still
feel OK.
2. Second symptom is a slight gear chatter
when up shifting to third and downshifting from third.
This has always been present if I was aggressive but now it
happens on almost every shift but not if I
double clutch. I bought the car with 81,500 Miles
and it was a daily fair weather driver. It
currently has 84,500 miles and I have not touched the
clutch, MC or slave.
3.The third symptom bothers me the most,
maybe it has always done this, but the shifter moves
about once inch forwards and backwards when
accelerating in third. Step on the trottle and the shift knob
moves back one inch release the throttle and it moves
forward one inch. I am able to occasionally get it to
jump out of gear doing this.
Any ideas as to the cause will be appreciated!! I had a
small front end collision in September 98. I have since replaced the bonnet
and bumper any chance the above are related to this accident?
