tranny does not want to catch the gears and when i put it in reverse the engine shuts off. also i noticed that the oil pressure gauge dropped to like 30 and the motor is not idleing properly.

whats up

 

Good question.

Welcome to the Board. We'll try to help, but we need a butt-load more information. Like year, model, engine, modifications, maintenance habits, tune-up, etc.

 

no prob. 1983 trans am. manual with a 305 carburated. cant put into any gear from a stop and when i do slam it into reverse the engine shuts off. i also noticed the oil pressure was low at this point

 

uhh might sound like a stupid question but have you found out what the peddle all the way to the left does (the clutch?) if you are already intimately familiar with that then its your clutch fork or pilot bearing, or pressure plate or clutch... or it could be the clutch cappacitor autozone has em for about $6 plugs into the tranny just infront of the drive shaft on drivers side...very easy

 

mmmmmm... the pedal on the left thats the one that opens the hatch to the secret flying mechanism right?

j/k

im almost sure the clutch has gone bad thank for the info
