[DML] Re: Manual Shifting Problms

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Watch the clutch fork from above as someone else activates and holds
the pedal. If it moves in sync with the pedal and remains engaged
thereafter, your problem isn't in the hydraulics.

You can watch the throw out bearing and clutch fork through access
holes in the side of the bellhousing (remove the drive axles). Ensure
the bearing is properly seated on the fork, rides against the pressure
plate fingers at all times, and moves evenly from both sides (clutch
fork pivoting normally).

Lift the rear wheels off the ground and engage the clutch. With the
transmission in gear you should be able to freely spin the wheels and
just barely hear the clutch disc swooshing against the pressure plate.

If car passes these tests, you've either got a problem with the shift
linkage itself or perhaps the synchronizers are broken.
