Manual Gea Box Issues

[jakedamuss]

Hi all my manual gearbox changes are very tuff in 1,2 and the clutch pedal is going further to the floor when pressed gradually got worse over time. I like the car but ever since I've owned the car the gear changes have always been problematic. Any advice..

It could be the clutch master or slave cylinders, clutch isn't being released fully so binding a bit, hence the drag on the gears when trying to shift, but would have thought it would be the same for all.

 

Does it crawl when in first on the flat?

 

Try it from all gears when stationary - it may possibly be easier on the higher gears when moving.

Got same problem as you but had it for about 5 years now. Difficult to get into 1st and Reverse, changing gearbox oil helped slightly. There is slight drag when pedal to floor, its like as if release bearing not getting full throw. The other idea is that Clutch fingers might be bent with age/wear or release lever bent.

I'll hold on though as new clutch would see it right.
