I'm getting hard shifts into first and other gears at a dead stop. How do i check master and slave cylinders asides from looking for leaks?

also i can't find Mopar 75W-90, API Grade GL-5 at parts stores and dealer says they need to order it. Whats something generic that i can find anywhere?

 

You can use most any 75W-90 gear lube, since most will be GL-5.
For instance, Mobil 1 Synthetic 75W-90 http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/..._75W-90LS.aspx

 

thanks, really appreciate it. what do you guys think about hard shift to 1st from stop? I haven't found a good test yet.

 

what kind of hard shift? does it goto 2/3/4?

 

replaced the tranny fluid tonight. didn't help much, but it was low. also the clutch spin down test, putting it in reverse, grinds. so i guess its my pressure plate and clutch. any other ideas?

hard shifts like hard to put it into 1st gear from nuetral at a stop light.

i'm really considering doing this fix. what seals should i have on hand.

planning on:

clutch
pressure plate
pilot bearing
throw out bearing

am i missing anything?

 

Aren't we sposed to use syncromesh in the manual transmissions?

 

Haynes says 75w90

how long does it take you guys to replace a clutch? i'll triple it for my time estimate.
