My car just started to have problems shifting into reverse and first gears. I haven't looked at it yet, but am very interested in what you find. I had a quick look at the clutch pedal and found that there was an ever so slight amount of fluid on the carpet. I checked the reservoir and it was full. -- Warren VIN 2140 > Message: 2 > Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2004 18:53:45 -0800 (PST) > From: John Podlewski <john_podlewski@xxxx> > Subject: MANUAL SHIFTING PROBLEMS (5spd) > > Just wondering if someone can actually answer my post about my trouble > shifting and a correct adjustment?
