So, when I push in my clutch it squeaks a little, no big deal.
BUT, I have also been having a difficult time getting into 1st gear and reverse, and sometimes (but not as often) 2nd.
To get into reverse I usually have to let my car roll about half to a full foot before it will go into gear. And if I try to do it whilst rolling, I found out yesterday, it will make a grinding noise. And it honestly scared the s*** out of me.
As for 1st, and sometimes second, I just have to push really hard. And sometimes I have to let my car roll back a little before I can get it into 1st. 2nd just requires a little bit of force.
I was wondering if this was a clutch issue? Or something else? Because I really want to get this problem fixed. The previous owner put in a short shifter, is it possible he screwed something up?
I have contemplated just buying a new clutch to see if that was the issue, but I figured there has to be someone out there who knows what this problem is caused from.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
