ok, lately Ive been having problems changing into gear, its been getting harder and harder until finally its at a stage where its so stiff its pretty much un-driveable.
the car is a R32 GTS-t Manual, roughly 150rwkw and stock clutch.
so symptoms, like i said really hard to change into all gears, but mainly when stationary, when moving i think (not 100% sure) double clutching seems to help. Also i think after a while of driving it seems to get better. so this had me thinking mainly it was gearbox related.
until today, i went to start my car which is always left in gear, clutch fully in and when i went to click it over the car rocked like as if u tried to start it in gear but not as harsh. Then once it was started it was still a bitch to get in gear, once i got out of the driveway almost impossible to get into gear, when i had the clutch completely in and tried to put it into 1st and 2nd etc it seemed to start moving forward even though it wasn't even in gear, just pushed down hard trying to get it into gear.
Anyway back to last night clutch was always a possibility so there were a few things i had noticed, the clutch did feel a bit weird and possibly lighter with a lot of slack (could be my imagination), and also i did the drop clutch test, in 1st gear in semi wet conditions with new 225's on the back i revved it up and dropped it rolling at about 10ks and it spun up straight away. I have tried the same with 2nd gear before and no cigar, clutch slipped like a bitch.
To be honest i didn't really think the clutch felt like it was slipping at all during normal driving or even real hard driving (not including clutch kicks) so i still thought i had a bit left in it.
but yeh sorry for the long post but hopefully someone can identify the issue, any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers
