[6pack] Transmission or clutch issues

[Ashford Little]

Have you replaced the pilot bushing lately by chance?  If not, then the broken taper pin seems to be a typical issue.  I was lucky, I got to experience both.

As things warm up, it gets harder and harder to shift gears.  It is almost like the clutch is not going far enough especially into first or second.  Even when I double clutch it.  When I try to put it in reverse, it grinds.   I can get it into reverse but it does not want to go there.  If I turn off the engine and start up with the clutch depressed, it will work without grinding.
