| Specs:
71 Midget
Symptom:
Hardshifting into second gear
Details:
Okay - Now I've had a lot of problems with cars in the past, but I don't 
know trannies...so here's one for you pros out there.  My 71 midget runs and 
drives great.. but...
sometimes it shifts into second easily.. and sometimes I have to spend time 
searching for second - I mean to the point where I'm pulling pushing, 
gnashing at first in my over-comp, etc.  And then.. suddenly, it pops right 
in.
There is never any grinding, never any pop-outs. It's just a pain to find 
second. I'd say it's about 50% of the time.
I'm pretty sure it's time for a clutch (hasn't been done in almost ten 
years), but is this typical for a bad clutch (I've always encountered more 
general problems). Or is this something with the gearbox?
Thanks in advance!
Bill
