It's been raining (finally) here in Georgia, so I wasn't able to drive here
much lately. Fired up my 75 TR6 just a bit ago and when I went to shift into
reverse to back out of the garage, much grinding was heard, but I was able to
get it into reverse. When I went to shift into first, I could feel that it
was shifting very differently. I've had the car 8 months and never
experienced any shifting problems. Decided it was no time for a drive and
decided to pull back in the garage. I had turned the engine off just to see
how it shifted when not running -- it was pretty stiff and not very crisp as
before. Anyway, it wouldn't shift into gear with the engine running so I had
to shut it off, put it into first, start the engine and pull on into the
garage. One other thing I noticed is that the clutch felt like it was
engaging much sooner (and with much less pedal travel) than I have been used
to with this car previously. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas as to what the
problem might be please let me know. Thanks.
