hey all, today it was SUPER hot and sticky out here in Fargo, ND. it was around 95 degrees and very humid. anyway, i went out to lunch at work around 2pm and my transmission suddenly started to grind gears now and then. sometimes it was hard to get out of 1st or 2nd gear. i pulled over, checked my clutch fluid. it is full, like always. i was very gentle on the gears on my way back to work, figuring it was the clutch line i have yet to replace. it's still pretty crappy out and i just got home from work - the gears were starting to grind again as i was a couple blocks from my house. it seems to work fine on a cold-warm start, but as you get going, it gets worse and worse. the symptoms are grinding 1st and 2nd gear, as well as difficulty in getting out of gear sometimes. yes, the clutch pedal is depressed ALL of the way. i haven't ground on 3rd or 4th gear yet. oh yeah - for the last couple months my reverse has grinded for a split second about every 4th time i shift into Reverse. would these be by-the-book symptoms of needing the stainless clutch line? i just ordered it and warren said that it sounds like the problem. what do the rest of you think?
