Its real hard getting into gear sometimes when the cars not warmed up. Especially R and 1st. I was under my car the other day and noticed my rear motor mount was shot. Could that be my problem?

 

No.

Has it always been like this?

What sort of gear oil do you have in there?

 

check your hydraulic clutch Reservoir..see if there is any fluid in there

 

its been like that since i bought last month, and the clutch fluid is full. I changed the gear oil to Redline MT-90. Drained it and put about 2.5qts in.

 

You're pretty much looking at one of two things, gear oil being so thick in the morning that it's hard to get into gear, or the clutch isn't fully releasing.

So did it do it before you changed the gear oil, or after?

 

Sometimes in the mornings its so hard getting into reverse i have to take off the car, and start it in reverse.

 

it did it before and after. I think it might the be clutch not fully releasing, how can that be fixed?

 

First thing I would do is bleed the clutch, and put in new brake fluid. Seeing as it's temperature related, it could be the master or the slave.

If that didn't do the trick, adjust the pedal, but that's really just a temporary fix until you fix the problem.

 

just tried bleeding it, didnt do anything. How do i adjust the pedal?

 

 

Hey progress where did you find that link?

 

That's the FSM, see my sig.

 

I just adjusted it. It did the trick, thanks guys

 

Which nut/bolt did you adjust?

 

The one in the back. Its weird now because it goes into gear smooth, and when i first did it it released off the ground. Now it doesn't.. it sometimes it randomly decides to

 

Okay so the morning after I adjusted the pedal. It wouldn't go into gear. Right after i would adjust it it'd be fine.. If i drive it than park it, the next morning its back to square one.. or even worse.. I was looking at the transmission and saw this. Does this look right? Is that goldish bolt thing suppose to go straight in there? Heres a pic. If anyone with a HLSD transmission can look at theres and see if its the same. or even take a pic. That'll help
Thanks in advance

 

anyone?

 

Thats odd. I've never seen a copper fitting over the slave cylinder pin. The pin can get sort of noisy so maybe that was there fix. Who knows, but from what I've seen, that copper piece shouldn't be there...at least on the 5sp. Not sure about the 6sp.

 

anyone with a 6spd got a pic?

 

The copper piece shouldn't be there.

 

Ummm.....replace the slave cylinder?

 

might just need to let the car warm up....lol........

 

Whats suppose to go there? Could this be the problem?

 

Nothing should be there, the slave cylinder piston should directly contact the clutch fork.

It's not likely the problem, it's actually giving you a bit more throw to disengage the clutch.

 

I've got a new issue now.. The clutch pedal gets soft after highway driving and it engages right off the ground. A couple miles into city driving the pedal gets realll springy and engages real high, like right at the end.. is it the master cylinder thats gone bad?

 

anyone?

 

So should i replace the Slave cylinder or master cylinder?

 

2.5 quarts is not enough, if you drained all, it takes about 4.5qts.

 

The FSM and the dozen times I've refilled the RS6F51 say different.

Are you referring to the 5MT?

 

yes, 5MT..

 

He has an A33B (and has mentioned HLSD and 6MT a few times in this thread), hence a 6MT.

Factory fill is 2.3 liters, ~2.5 quarts.

 

anyways, whats it mean when the pedal firmness changes after driving? city driving the pedal gets real hard and engages high. After a highway drive it gets mushy and engages low.

 

I would change out the master.

 

Is it safe to get one from the local auto parts store? They've got it for $70

 

Yes, they should work just fine.
