So within the last couple days, my 5 speed has decided it likes to shift less and less from a complete stop. It has a new clutch and slave cylinder and that cool stuff.
With the car off, i can run through all the gears no problem, but when the car is running, at a stop, it will not want to shift into any gear (except reverse). If i'm moving a little bit, i can get it into first with a little more force than should be required. Oh, but if i just sit there with the clutch in for about 5-10 seconds before trying to shift, it will go in just fine, so it sounds to me like a hydraulic issue with the clutch not disengaging all the way right away.
Within the next couple days im going to check the tranny fluid and make sure that is fine, and then try bleeding the clutch, if that doesn't help i think ill need a new clutch master cylinder... Until then ill just drive around carefully, shifting slowly as to not give the synchros too much work to do.
If anyone has a similar issue or any input, feel free to post here. Thanks.
