Hells yeah I got it fixed. Braced the top of the bracket and firewall with no flex at all now. Shifts like butter.

 

just looks like a shitty clutch

 

Damn that's what JD said. ---- ---- ----, I don't want to pull a damn tranny.

 

I'm having the same problem and the dudes at PreludePower said that the input shaft splines may just need to be greased up. Still, since you gotta remove the trans to do it, you might as well throw a new clutch in.

 

you are sir can tell them to lay off the crack cause imput shafts having grease or not have nothing to do with the shifting, but more to do with a throw out bearing, clutchis going out or you have bad syncros

 

my first gear is like that sometimes on my hatch. i think its just loose shift linkage though. though i still havent learned that i cant shift into 3rd to fast........damn synchronizers :P

 

Sometimes I have to release a bit the clutch to let the gear enter... Mine do almost the same as yours, seems like syncro are bad...

 

honda trans.
1 and R require some finesse.

 

3rd always grish too... Well, to only good gears are 2,4,5! Never had problems with them I had a transmission that I shifted from 2nd to 4th because when it was in 3rd it was going to neutral himself... I win some race without that gear

 

3 gear worn and poping out

weird how transmissions wear down. 1990's VW always blow out R first. and I mean gear strips half it's teeth like butter. Don't know why, bad metallurgy or just dumbasses attempting R burnout? IDK.
