CLUTCH PROBLEMS

[jwboner]

Try sync shifting (shifting through the gears without using the clutch pedal) It's hard to explain, just when revving through lets say first, just before you would normally shift apply a little pressure as if you were about to shift, and it shouldn't come out of gear while you are on the gas. Then let off the gas and the shifter will pop out of gear and as rpms lower a little it should go into 2nd pretty easily without ever having to use the clutch. If it shifts easily or easier than with the clutch then it is linkage or cable or something on that end. Good to narrow it down, and also comes in handy when clutch breaks and limp home starting in gear.
