My stupid tranny problem is back. Essentially, the car will bog coming out of first gear on almost every stop. The problem is really bad going up hill.

The dealership has already replaced the clutch pressure plate and the release bearing. While this did cure the loud clutch rattle I used to hear while in neutral, it did not solve my 1st gear problem. At first it seemed to solve it but the problem was back within days.

I am going to call the dealer tomorrow to bitch about this some more. Do any of you guys have suggestions as to what else could be causing this?

If this were the first manual I have owned I would just chalk it up to my bad clutch technique but I have been driving manuals for almost 20 years.

Help!

Thanks.....

 

oh just chalk it up w/ the crappy manual trannies we are supplied with. case in point- my tranny 5th gear synchros just cant seem to hold

 

my 5th gear started to grind at like 5000k

 

my 5th started around 5000 also.
