Hi all,
I have a 2018 GT with a stock MT-82 w/ 98k miles on it. This past weekend, I was driving my car when I went to downshift (always rev-matching to preserve synchros, etc.) when the car locked me out going from 6th -> 5th. I coasted it off the highway into a lot, where I I found that I was having trouble getting the car into gear without using a lot of force. In addition, shifting the car feels like moving a stick stuck in gravel, so my initial thought was that it was either some shift forks or synchros broken.
Took it to a dealer today where they quoted me just over $2,000 for a clutch slave and master cylinder replacement, as well as a brake fluid flush. The thing is, in the limited time that I drove the car home after this occurred, I didn't notice the clutch pedal getting stuck to the floor. The main issue is the grinding/clanking sound and a certain "ticking" sound coming from under the car.
The car isn't under warranty, so if this price seems unreasonable I think I will ideally take it somewhere else or worst case, do the replacement myself.
Had anyone had any experience with this issue/getting their cylinders replaced, and if so, what was the cost?
I will put some videos showing both the ticking sound coming from under the car as well as an example of the sound that occurs when shifting below:
"Ticking" sound coming from underneath car
4th -> 3rd Lockout of the gear & audible clanking
