UPDATE!!!!!!!!!......I spoke with Bill Garrett at EXEDY this morning, great guy representing EXEDY. Since I posted this I noticed a squeaking while pushing the clutch pedal in and out and I sent the video to Bill Garrett and I’ll attach it as well. Apparently the squeaking is a dry slave cylinder/hydraulic bearing which may be toast, this may also be the reason the clutch isn’t completely disengage thus causing my first gear issues. I don’t know if it was making this squeaking noise prior to replacing the clutch line. I have selective hearing according to my wife and I normally have the door closed when I depress the clutch pedal. Bill suggested I bleed the brakes and then pump the clutch trying to bleed the system again. If this doesn’t work I’ll be dropping the trans, soooooo now is a great time to install the MGW X-SPEC, kind of a win for me.
I’m having a hard time getting the transmission into 1st gear (damn near impossible) only after putting it into neutral, letting off the clutch then trying to shift back into first (this is at a dead stop) This only happens once I start driving the car, when I first get in the car it goes into first like butter, also when I come to a complete stop if I don’t let off the clutch it will go into first without issue.
This only started happening a couple months ago when I did a hard rolling pull in second gear at which time I felt the shifter flex to the right more than normal and I heard a snap followed by a vibration. I later found the snap and vibration was a driveshaft to rubber isolator bolt snapping. Prior to all this I did the BG fluid change and everything was butter smooth. It almost feels like the clutch isn’t completely disengaging allowing it to shift into first. I should also note that I have an EXEDY Mach 500 stage 3 clutch.
Looking for any thoughts or advice before I start tearing into the shifter or something else.
