Re: [DML] Transmission-Clutch-Linkage Trouble?



Willie,

Although it sounds like you might have a linkage problem, I thought I would relate an experience I had. My 5 speed was difficult to shift for years and I was frustrated at missing shifts occasionally and poping out of gear occasionally. Turns out it was an air bubble traped in the hydraulic line that was using up a significant portion of the clutch petal motion. Simply bleeding the system was not sufficient. There is a tubing service loop just above the slave cylinder that can hold a bubble. I was able to easily purge it by applying pressure to the petal and then opening the bleeder fitting on the slave cylinder. The fluid then rushes with enough force to purge the bubble. Fluid velocity is the key. Problem fixed and the gear change is sweet. Maybe you will get lucky with this suggestion.
