Has anyone changed from a cylindrical coupler to the newer dog bone style couple and seen improvement in gear selection/engagement?
I am having trouble getting into first from a complete stop. Indy has seen car and says clutch is not the issue, clutch working "beautifully" he says. Also changed gear oil (10w 30 motor oil)... old oil was not very dirty and very few shavings he says.
Indy is saying adjustment may help but not to have high expectations for that to solve my issue. He suspects the housing/sleeve that the synchros live in (not the synchros themselves) is the issue. I am getting no grinding ever. I am experiencing intermittent difficulty engaging first and sometimes second from complete stop. Sometimes it shifts super smoothly. Motor mounts have been checked twice.
Car has 125k and is a 1990 turbo.
