t45 - hard to shift into gears

the98stang · Dec 22, 2006

Lately it seems harder for me to put the car into gear. It doesn't grind, but it feels kind of notchy. Sometimes its harder to put it in first from a stop. I'm pretty sure the stock clutch adjuster is as far as it can go too. So is my clutch not fully engaging or something? Or does this sound like my synchros? The car has 72k miles with the stock clutch. Thanks!

clutch is not disenguaging all the way. Drop $100 on a cheap quadrant and adjustable cable. Driving like this WILL kill your syncros fast.

i dont think it is your clutch. can you put it into 1st gear with the car still? and is you are rolling slowly can you put it into 1st without any grinding? when i messed up the syncros in my 3650 it would shift into 2st fine sitting still but wouldnt do it if i was rolling.

If I'm rolling I can put it in first with no grind. I can put it in 1st while the car is still, too. I'm thinking this is a quadrant adjuster problem because it didn't seem too hard to shift earlier today. I mean I don't have to FORCE it to shift, but it's not butter smoothe either. Maybe it's the mobil 1 ATF?
