Tough shifting gears under full throttle?

[Typhoon]

Bleed your clutch hydraulics and adjust linkage for free play. A clutch that does not fully disengage will do all these things, as well as rapidly accelerate wear on synchro rings.

ok this might sound stupid but my car is still haveing problems going into second gear as well.. i would like to try the MT-90.. so my question is where do you drain it and where you do you fill it up..lol

Drain plug on the side of the transmission, around a 20-24 mm I think?

To fill, make sure the drain plug is back in, remove the shifter and fill through the shifter hole. easiest way I've found.

wow thanks man.. can i get the mt-90 at autozone or somthing? and how much is it
hope it works

MT-90 can be bought online at summitracing...

it's not cheap (around $50 for the fill), but it's not like you change it every 3000 miles...

It seems this is all a chat about oil.....I just double clutch everygear, smooth as a babies bottom. :sarcasm:

 

[Poodles]

double clutch is for non-synchronized trannies...

welcome to fifty years ago...

Yeh, it just shifts smoother though.

how often SHOULD you get a synthetic oil change on a turbo.. and should i change the oil filter every time? when i changed my oil last time i didnt change the filter cause i couldnt figure out how to get to it.. its like buried up in there

yeah my third gear sychro is going out. but its getting a rebuild for the swap anyhow. my 3200 RPS didnt help out with the prob though.....

the filter is the important part to change

its too hard to get to! i worked at good lube for 4 months doing oil changes like its nothing... i cant touch this filter! idk how to get to it.. every angle is impossible!

 

[Poodles]

it's extremely simple...

you'll hate it once you figure out out, it's seriously the easiest filter I've ever messed with...

Pennsoil Synchromesh works well too, it helped the grinding in my DSM which are horrible about 2nd gear synchros.

 

[Poodles]

no, synchromesh is too thin for our trannies, don't use it...

 

[IwantMKIII]

new problem...at least i think?

I noticed that while in NEUTRAL, if i press in the clutch and let it out, the car actually moves forward?! I tried it numerous times and was sure it was out of gear....why is this???
