Ok, ever since I bought my car in march '03, the tranny has been pretty tough to get into gear. Some days are even worse then others. I just recently installed a new Pro 5.0 shifter and bushing, thinking that would help the problem, but to no avail. Then I saved up for a firewall adjuster, quadrant, and clutch cable hoping to get some smoother shifting out of it, but still it's the same it always has been.
Now, the T5 was rebuilt about 3-4 years ago (about 50k miles) so it doesn't have too much mileage on it. I have a couple friends with T5s in their mustangs, and theirs seem to shift a lot smoother and it's much easier to get into gear.
I've messed around with the firewall adjuster a bit, but whether the clutch grabs off the floor or almost at the top, it's still difficult to get into gear. This problem is really getting to me, and it's costing me a lot of money. My mechanic checked the pilot bearing about a month ago, and he said he doesn't think that's the problem.
What do u guys think about this? I would really like to get this resolved. Is it definitely something with the tranny? The clutch? Should I take it to a tranny specialist? What else can I check?
