It is an engaging topic... haha
Ok, so the symptoms are: (ah yes, 1992)
When shifting, clutch to the floor, it is occasionally hard to get in to first (while stopped), shifting into 2nd and third. This started a while ago by blocking 3rd. If I shift quickly, there is no problem, but if I casually driving, sometimes it will not shift into 3rd, but if I just hold some pressure on the stick, it will eventually drop in.
There is no slipping though. I have been told that the clutch is almost warn out, but I am not sure if that psychic friends or what. I have 55k mi, and it probably has the original clutch (I purchased it with 29k mi).
umm, if you need more input, let me know, and i will try and give a better description.
So....is it clutch, t.o. bearing.....opinions please??? replacement parts?? preferences?
thanks.
