The symptom may not appear when cold as the transmission oil is ?thick? enough to resist the first motion (input) shaft?s rotation. When things warm up as the transmission oil ?thins out? and can no longer resist this rotation. Unfortunately I can?t help with a specific cause. What is the size of your slave cylinder? Some are have a large dia. than others I believe.<br><br> <br><br>Brian<br><br> <br><br>From: 6pack [mailto:6pack-bounces@autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Dale Katzfey via 6pack<br>Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2015 4:23 PM<br>To: 6pack@autox.team.net<br>Subject: [6pack] Transmission or clutch issues<br><br> <br><br>Here is my problem which I need some guidance.
