Can't Downshift Into 2nd
long story short. clutch slipping, had new clutch put in with a new lakewood bellhousing, ram diaphram clutch with metallic puck disk,tremec 3550,upshifts ok but cannot downshift into 2nd gear(all others ok) until about 5 mph or double clutch.
bellhousing was suppose to be fitted as per jack leg. before change had stock bellhousing and 3 finger clutch (don't know what kind). clutch slipped but all gears were available up and down shifting. readjusted clutch after 300 miles but did not help. any help ken |
Ken,
Sounds like a bad set of second gear blockers. However you may have a binding problem. Why not try putting the other bell back on to see if the problem goes away? Good luck. |
Are you sure you are getting full release of the clutch? My car had a Tilton 1"dia. slave cyl.It had either release or free travel but not both.I changed to a 15/16"dia. slave cyl to get a little more travel. Ilost leverage .Pedal might be a little stiffer.Three years ago I lost the throwout bearing which took out the finger in the clutch.Got to have free travel and full release is important .
