Guess its time for me to change my fluid as well. Is taking the shifter off the easiest way to refill it?
Im having the same problems with my t56...when i start it, no problems. But after warm up it can be hard to go into first or second and reverse from a stop, but once i get rolling all is well. syptoms start once i stop and take my foot off the clutch, still shifts well if i dont let off the clutch though. i changed out the trans fluid with royal purple and adjusted the firewall adjuster but no help.
The problem occurs at different times. Frequently, at a traffic light, if I shift to neutral and release the clutch while I wait, It can be very hard to shift to first gear when the light changes. While up-shifting through the gears, the effort required varies and can make shifting a real pain in the butt. The gears never grind but I never know how much force will be required to make a shift. Then somtimes it shifts smooth and effortlessly. Does anyone know what causes this to happen?
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this. It's prob your clutch not fully disengaging due to a stretched cable.
Typically if you are at a light in nuetral and push the clutch in, the internals are still spinning. It takes about 5-10 seconds for them to stop. If you push the clutch in, count to 10, and then try to go into first it should slide in easy. If it doesn't, then it's a good indicator your clutch is still grabbing slightly.
You can try the self adjuster. Grab the pedal and pull up hard. Then push it to the floor hard with your foot. If it clicks, it has adjusted.
You may need a new cable or firewall adjuster if that doesn't fix it.
