Cheap Ride!

I bought my car for $1800 so when I bought it I didnt expect it to be much. It had to get a new starter and A windshield which we had a spare at my house but since then there has been nothing wrong with it except for recently. I have been having some problems with my trans. It started off that if I was down shifting from 5 to 4 it was harder than normal but the next time I tried it would go away. Then I found out that my clutch isnt disengaging alll the way and its slipping the clutch. So i have got no I dea what could cause these problems and if anyone has any info that could help It would really help. Thanks

------------------
I have a 1984 Z28 Camaro 305 H.O. It also has a 5-speed. It had a 3.73 posi rear-end but that had to be taken out due to some breackage of a couple of teeth. so I am currently looking for a *posi unit and 4.10 gears*.

Projects for the future are: I have a 4 gen SS hood scoop to put on my car and when I get that complete I plan On getting a K&N open element and Xtreme filter lid.

By the way My little stock 305 runs 14.5 @ 96mph on the 1/4 mile. I think thats pretty good for a stock 305.

you mean the shifter won't let you shift into gear? i have experienced that with my 84 Z28 the damn thing just won't move into gear sometimes.

It feels like its trying to push it back out of gear. I thought that there might be something wrong with the bearings in the trans.

If you want to see my lucky find you can check it out at the readers rides section.

It could be the syncros. I dont know how to spell. I took a shot at it though. Also check you clutch fluid pedal fluid.

I had that kinda problem with my fiero(don't waste money, they suck). Except it would grind for about 1/4 second and then go into gear. Had it check out, and it was the syncro(sp?) If your don't grind, it might be clutch related???

14X3 o.e., functional formula hood(for sale in future), uhhh..., umm...

Am I the only person who believes a car has feelings, emotions, and a soul??
