OK, these are the EXACT two problems I am having with
my transmission and clutch right now.
About the trans - I had it rebuilt recently and after
1500 miles it was still grinding into third gear. So I
took it apart again, and this time I noticed that
while the synchros would lock up on the other three
gears, none of them would get a good bite on third
gear. I ordered a new third gear and I am in the
process of putting the transmission back together. I
will report the results...
About the clutch - I have the exact same problem and
it was fixed (I think temporarily) by bleeding the
hydraulic system. I also have cloudy fluid, which I
think indicates that the fluid is breaking down the
aluminum. If this doesn't fix it for good then I am
buying a new master cylinder as I already replaced the
slave cylinder. It was engaging so close to the floor
that one day I couldn't get the clutch to fully
disengage; it was an experience in RPM matching to get
it home! ;)
Hope some of this helps...
