The shifting is always a little clunky in all gears, but the real problem is shifting into 1st from a stop. It almost never will go into gear on the first try, no matter how hard I push. If I push and release 2 or 3 times it will drop in. Temps do not effect this, neither does the timing of pushing the clutch in. I see other similar complaints but not this exact one. Suggestions?
I had a similar problem getting into 1st if the car was moving even just a little bit. It turned out to be the snout was scored and it was hanging up and not releasing completely after I had the clutch replaced. They had to drop the tranny and replace it and the TOB again. It worked fine after that.
