Has anyone had a problem shifting? Sometimes I have to force my car into gear. Do I need a new tranny or will a new clutch and release bearing fix the problem.

first thing to check is the clutch fluid under the hood right next to the brake fluid

hopefully this is your problem, if not, it could a number of different things including those that you said, but it's hard to diagnose over the computer

two = second gear?

The Subject said Two shift as in the number 2. I will assume that means you are having troulble shifting into second gear.. if that is the case I would change the actual tranny fluid (use Redline MTL) before I would touch the Clutch fluid. If that doesn't help then your 2nd gear synchro is most likely toast. I would refrain from downshifting into second from here on out.


If it is a clutch problem you would feel this in all gears not just second. It is at that point I would bleed the clutch master cylinder. keeping in mind that the clutch is self adjusting, your friction disk may be worn out, so it may be time for a total clutch job.
