Experiencing some issues when shifting gears. I’m finding that even with the clutch pedal pressed the entire way to the floor I’m grinding a bit when shifting. I did a bit of research and decided to adjust the tensioner on the back cable assembly.
First I tried tightening the nut thinking this would help the clutch to engage sooner but in fact the issue appeared worse after I tightened it. I then adjusted the nut back to where I started and tried loosening it but that didn’t help either. Anyone care to take a stab at what the issue might be? New cable assembly maybe? Pressure plate? Thanks everyone!! |

Two inspection plates on the center tunnel. Front is under the carpet by the pedal assembly. 2nd under the center cushion or tray. Take rear cover off and watch tube as someone pushes in the clutch. You will probably see tube moving when depressed.

You will probably see tube moving when depressed. I was able to get a look after removing the seats and center console and peeling back the carpet. Front inspection area by the pedal assembly seems good. But yes the tube is moving further back but only slightly under the area near the shift yoke when the clutch is pushed. Appears there was some fiberglass work under the car due to rust I assume so I’m not able to get a very good look at how/if the tube is mounted proper without cutting in that area. So before I get to cutting I’m curious if this could even remotely be related to transmission fluid level being low or something else? |
