Ok, This is my first camaro with a manual tranny, and i can't seem to find any relavent info in a search.

I believe it's a T-5 Transmission, and it was running great for about 2 months. Now all of a sudden it's hard as hell to get it into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. 4rth and 5th don't really give me a problem. I just really really have to force it into first, and 2nd and 3rd are just a pain. and yes, it's got fluid.

Honestly, it feels like the clutch isn't engauging fully. Like If i get it into first, and let off the clutch by about a freaking milimeter, I can allready feel it grabbing. ...That just don't seem right to what it was before. Is there a cable that needs more tension?

I poked my head undernieth, but i couldn't see anything that could be adjusted.. but the exhuast was my main concern at that moment. ...thanks for any help.

 

The clutch in your car is hydraulic. Most 3rd gens are, except for the first two years ('82-'83). Nothing is adjustable stock.

Your trans is a T5 Non World Class (1st design).

I would pull the trans and check out the clutch. It isn't that bad a job. The T5 is fairly light. Also, check the rear bearing retainer to see that it isn't worn. The throwout bearing could be getting hung up on a lip on the retainer and not fully releasing the clutch. The retainer is easy to get an costs about $45.

 

Thanks... I'll try and find some diagrams, to visualize what your talking about. but I appreciate the feedback.

 

TKO has some great points to check, but before you pull your trans check your slave cylinder for any leaks / bleed it
