Shifting problems

D_Train · 05-17-2007, 06:52 PM

When I am driving I've been having wierd issues.

When I start from first, i accelerat through about 2.5-3k rpm and when i press the clutch the car like, clunks. And also i find it almost impossible to make a smooth shift from first to fourth gear. there is always some sort of jurk or small clunk that I feel.

You need to get rid of this car and buy something you can work on.

Or you need to put it in the garage and tear it apart and fix the whole damn thing.

its not like, a clunk of death. Lol. Its just like, not like driving a brand new stick car.

Try bleeding your clutch slave cylinder on the tranny. My 86.5 did the same thing the clutch wasnt fully letting up thats prolly the clunk you are hearing. Other than that, wellllll you prolly dont want to hear other than that cause supramacist is prolly right tear it all apart thats what I did to my current markIII.

I only say that because you have many many problems and they are throughout the auto. You can fix them 1 by 1 but the inevitable will only be held at bay for so long.

OOOpppps my bad I thought he was talking bout a 5 spd. A clunk then would be bad and go with what supramacist is telling you auto shifting clunks arent good and usually it is doing more damage everytime it does it. Prolly a bad planetary or sumthin. Also probably gonna be costly to rebuild I know usually autos are not fun and require a few special tools. Well I say special but you can make them your self if you try.

as my friends dad always says

Its broke and it could be anything

My supra does a similar thing.

Its definately a case of Oldcaritis.

Seriously unless you want to re-do the tran synchro's rear end ring and pinion gears and a plethera of other things...

I can rotate my driveshaft almost 1 1/2" back and forth in geat with the engine off...

I'd go with Supermacist's suggestion or you'll end up like me...

I ride the bus!
