So Im having a problem with my car. When its cold, its real HARD getting into first or reverse (when parked of course).

When it warms up it gets much smoother to get in gears but nonetheless not as it should or was..

any ideas as what this might be, I have a JIM WOLF clutch, PP, and FW

Thanks

 

that happens to me with 5th gear, when the car;s been sitting overnight, i go into 5th and it grinds, but after that ... nothing, I usually try to skip 5th when i start to drive lol

try changing the fluid ?

 

I had thought of that. I was thinking maybe the clutch in not fully engaged.

 

How many miles on the car? How many miles on the clutch? How long has it been installed?

I forgot my crystal ball so I dont know the history of your car to answer your question.

 

2006 but had the oil consumption problem and got swapped for the DE version 2. Motor has 7k miles. has jim wolf clutch pp and flywheel. I dont know how old the clutch is. probably less than 10k miles

 

Normal, just be smooth on the shifter. While sitting still slide it into 5th first , then put it into 1st or reverse.

 

I have the same thing happening to mine. I have the exact same setup as KatsZ, a 2006 with JWT clutch/ fly combo. I believe that it only started doing this recently however. It's annoying the hell out of me. I am going to change all fluids,etc. I was thinking of taking it to the dealer even. Any other input would be appreciated. The entire tranny just feels much notchier (idk if that is a word...lol) now.
