T5 trans
 

car is an 88 mustang, T5 trans. sometimes it will not go into first, unless you let off the clutch and slam it back to the floor, then itll pop in...no grinding. then you can go 2nd, 3rd, then when you try for 4th it will not go in, just grinds. any ideas? my list so far is clutch/pressure plate, shifter/clutch cable, worn synchros.

Did you check the clutch quadrant adjustment? If it is still a self adjuster style, pull the pedal all the way up with your hand, you should feel it sorta click then push the clutch to the floor a couple times. This should readjust the clutch cable if the system is working correctly.

well im buying the car, ill probably have it wednesday...ill try that. thanks

im going with clutch all together, just ditch it if its stock and throw a centerforce dual friction in it you'll be happy

my guess would be the quadrant. And get some pics up of the car when you get it:)

well...financial situations screwed me out of the car. plus the guy never called me back anyway, after i called him 3 times. :rolleyes:

could be the flux capacitor...

that sucks. how much was the car if you dont mind my asking?

he wanted $1500 obo. as far as i know its still for sale if you want to go check it out, he lives near e-town
