OK here's the deal. New gears and syncros. The car shifts fine while driving. When sitting still it will not go into 1 & 2 gear without pushing the clutch all the way to the floor with my heel.:(
Is this just a clutch adjustment? If so where do I start? Thanks

At what point does your clutch start grabbing? I adjust mine a little lower than some people, but you can adjust your cable under your distr. If that doesn't work then maybe something is wrong with the syncros.

OK it took a turn for the worst! :mad: It'll go into 1st gear but won't go into 5th gear now! It grabs right off of the floor. Do you think adjusting the cable will help? What else could it be?

Check the motor mounts, especially the one under the shifter. If it is torn it will cause problems. Also, I would put some more tension on the cable. It should not grab right on the floor.

Even though it sounds like your cable might not be adjusted properly, I dont think thats your only problem.

Yes downshifts fine. By the way the next day I drove it, no problems at all:confused: Today in the snow no problems at all! I'm going to take it on another long trip and see if it does it again. Stay tuned.

I basically have to take the car back at this point! It started acting up again and will not go into 5th gear at all now :mad:
