Hard shifting may be caused by a misadjusted crossover cable. If hard shifting is accompanied by gear clash, synchronizer clutch and stop rings or gear teeth may be worn or damaged.
Hard shifting may also be caused by a binding or broken shift cover mechanism.
Remove shift cover and verify smooth operation. Replace as necessary.
Misassembled synchronizer components also cause shifting problems.
Incorrectly installed synchronizer sleeves, keys, balls, or springs can cause shift problems.
SLIPS OUT OF GEAR
Transaxle disengagement may be caused by misaligned or damaged shift components, or worn teeth on the drive gears or synchronizer components. Incorrect assembly also causes gear disengagement. Check for missing snap rings.
CLUTCH PROBLEMS
Worn, damaged, or misaligned clutch components can cause difficult shifting, gear clash, and noise. A worn or damaged clutch disc, pressure plate, or release bearing can cause hard shifting and gear clash.
This is what my car has been doing. But only in 3rd gear. It sounds like I am getting gear clash, and while letting out the clutch, it clashes a bit and tries to throw itself out of gear, but if I put a bit of pressure on the shifter it stays in and everything is ok. This all started happening after a night at the track with a multitude of missed WOT shifts.. I wonder if it is a clutch issue. Any ideas?
