Mine is similar? Posted by FrancoisM [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: 40k miles - shifter feels wrong,worn clutch? Symptoms?, Rick C., Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:27:59 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Hi,
My car : '04 aero manual tranny, 60Kmiles, purchased 18 months ago.
I believe mine is doing similar as yours. Shifting does not grind. I would say that shifting is not "easy". It usually takes about 2 seconds to engage, pretty ennoying while accelerating from a stop... This behavior is not constant. I would say 25% of time engaging is difficult. Sometime I even have to bring back the shifter in center and engage again. I prefer not to push too hard on the shifter.
I do not observe any correlation between this difficulty and :
. timing with the clutch pedal depression
. quickness of the shifting
. selected speed (reverse, 1, 2...5th)
. outside temp.
. Hi or low engine revolution
Another related symptom? : Is it normal to "feel" the engine vibration through the clutch pedal while slightly depressing it until there is countact with the clutch bearing? Vibration intensity increases with the amount of injected fuel.
If anybody has any experience with this, any advice are wellcome.
Have a good day,
Francois
