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.

it IS a 5-spd

It's got to be the clutch the pressure plate and or the throw out bearing.

That's where I would look if it were my ride. You could get lucky and it be your main carrier bearing has dumped. In the round about center of your drive shaft.
Those things are like 280 bucks.

OK I saw he said auto and I got confused. Then try bleeding the clutch slave cylinder first before taking everything out cause it is easy. Down on the slave cylinder on the tranny there is a little nipple unscrew it a bit and put a catch pan under it and pump the clutch pedal a few times if it spirts a bit when you do so there was air in there. air in the line would cause the clutch to not release all the way.

What about the trans mount guys?

A broken motor mount would do that also, trust me I owned a FORD with a "custom" 2 piece motor mount (LOL) and it made some horrible clunks when I engaged the clutch. (2 piece motor mount means it was in 2 pieces but didn't know it until I took it out)
