Clutch or gearbox problems for DC5R

[Anthony38]

Hi all,

Today I encountered a serious problem with either my clutch or gearbox.

I was normally driving around town today and was trying to downshift from 2nd to 1st gear but I couldn't get the gear stick out of 2nd. I had to be very forceful and pull it out with great effort. At the same time my clutch felt very strange, soft and the length of travel was shoften significantly as though the engagment point is all the way to the floor. The only way could get it working properly again was to let out the clutch fully and start from 1st gear. This happened a few times today especially after reversing.

Last few months I've been experiencing the infamous 2nd gear grind and I was wondering whether what happened today is related to it. I have decided the only course of action was to use aftermarket MTF to see if it will solve the grind or making it easier for myself. Would this help?

I curious to know whether anyone here has experience this problem mentioned above.

Obviously I will be taking it to someone to check it out, but I was curious whether anyone here has experienced such problems before. Any input would be fantastic, better then just turning up to my mechnic having no idea.


thanks in advance

Took my car to IS motoring today...

Basically my clutch has shitted itself. So I am getting that changed and it will be ready tomorrow. At the same time I got a minor service done plus changed my MTF to redline.

Let's see how it goes tomorrow!
