Another weird transmision problem
So I was driving last night in 5th gear and coming up to a light.When I wen to downshift to 4th,it wont even try to go.No grinding,just like there was something blocking it from even trying..
I tried all the gears and same thing.I coasted off the road,and sat there at idle,trying to figure out whats up.
The clutch feels the same as normal,and there are no noises.I kept trying to put the car in gear and wont go.
If I try reverse it would try to grind.
So I shut the car off,it will go into all the gears no problem,feels normal.
So I tied to "bump" the key with it in first gear,thinking if it was a clutch problem,the car would try to move forward when I crank it...wrong....the car started and I let the clutch out slowly and it seemed to be normal.
So I push in the clutch again(still running) and go to all the gears and reverse a couple times and all seems well.
I was in the middle of nowhere and about 20 miles fom home,so I decided to try to drive it since everything seemed to be normal again.
I drove all the way home with no issue whatsoever,and was really concerned.
Now when I got to my driveway,put it i reverse and backed in.
ent to go from revers to first to shu the car off,and it locked up again,not letting me go to any gears like before
So I turned the car off again,and then I could put it in any gear no problem.Started the car again,and it seemed ok for a couple shifts sitting there,but then started getting hard to put in gear again.
At this point it was late and I was glad to make it home ,so I just shut it off and had a mini tantrum for a second,realizing I will be pulling the tranny again
-All my mounts,linkages are good,etc.
Looking for input on this...I am thinking there is a pressure plate problem,or maybe a spring ppped out of the disc ???
I am hoping it is only a clutch problem,not a trans problem.
Ironic thing is that its a Zoom stage 1 clutch in there,and I saw these posts recently about them being crap.I was thinking how mine seemed fine,and low and behold a few days later,this happenned.
So what could cause an intermittent problem like this?
I would think if the PP or disc had a problem,it would have made some noise or the pedal would feel different,or something.Or it would fail and stay failed,not start working fine again,than fail again
Anybody care to share similar experiences??
What if I pull the clutch out and everyting looks good...then what?
