Reversing with high load could be the problem? Just curious - why are you reversing hard? or i could just be trying to reverse on a hill its a car im looking at buying, it has a bad syncro and it pops out of reverse under high loads.. meaning reverse on flat ground is fine, its when i am on a hill ...

friends jeep has 260k miles on it

my car has 120, my other camaro has 150k , and i ot an 85' chevy with 24k on it

car pops out of reverse under high loads

what could be the problem?

hydraulics will push it up a litte bit, only as far as the pressure plate will push the clutch fork back the return spring will pull it up the rest of the way, drawing fluid into the master cylinder for the next time you step on the clutch i didnt realise there were any springs involved, other than...

yea something like that. dead clutch drill. stall as you stop, step on the clutch (with a non disengaging clutch this will only override the clutch lockout) to start, crank in 1st to start, shift w/o the clutch. like you said your clutch leaks, fix it. if the cap doesnt come off, twist it harder. g...

well i just checked the clutch fluid, and it was not THAT empty, i just a little fluid in it (i think i may have overfilled it but oh well)

i have no idea how old the clutch stuff is, i bought the car used with 90k miles on it, it now has 120k

Potentially the clutch could completely fail to disengage, resulting in a "Little Miss Sunshine" scenario where you can only use your higher gears (3rd and up, perhaps). Definitely something you'll want to check out if you plan to keep the car a while. i have no idea what you are talking ...

interesting.. i always had a small "leak" because i would have to put more fluid in every once in a while.. i wasnt sure if that was normal from the clutch wearing down or what. i tried to put more fluid in and the damn cap was stuck. what are the chances of me getting stranded or somethin...

wherever my rev limiter kicks in

my car has them, but i quit using them since one of my fog lights burnt out. once i replace it though i will use them again

when i am stopped at a redlight or when i am moving very slowly it is very hard to get into first or 2nd gear i literally have to slam the shifter into gear, 3rd,4th and 5th all work perfectly fine a lot of times 2nd will only half engage and will either pop out or grind when i let the clutch out.. ...

if nobody buys brand new cars then how are you going to get a used one halfway through its life?

i get a grinding in 3rd gear when i shift without a clutch.. is this a sign of the syncros going bad?

funny thing is, is i hardly ever use 3rd gear
