Default Re: Trans Questions.....Hard Going Into Gear

Guys,

First off, thanks so much for responding, I really appreciate it! After some additional investigation, it looks like the slave cylinder. Ever since I got the car on Memorial Day I have had some spots of fluid under it. Honestly I thought it was engine oil but now after closer inspection, it appears to be clutch fluid.

Per Chris's reccomendation I have sent an email to Jim inquiring about pricing to rebuild/exchange both and the turnaround time. I am no longer driving the car either. I'll probably give Jim a call tomorrow as I'm sure he is busy like everyone else.

What looks like a little bit of dirty fluid in the bottom of the master is actually a coating of muck as best as I can describe it. I'm sure the slave is the same way.

A rebuild and fresh fluid will hopefully straighten the shifting woes out.

As Dave suggested I will also be changing the tranny fluid....what do you guys reccommend?

Thanks for explanation of the tranny noise with the aluminum flywheel......I might need to put some dynamat in this car!

I'll keep you all abreast of my progress!
