As of late it has been hard to get my car into gear from neutral while the motor is running. Turned off, it will shift around just fine.
It began with a "rough" or "sticky" clutch pedal (towards the bottom of the movement).
Then I noticed a change in the friction/grabbing point--it had gotten nearly to the floor.
Now, after bleeding the clutch, the grabbing point is BELOW the floor--that is, the clutch will not fully disengage. I had to limp the car home by turning it off at a stop, shifting to 2 and starting it up to go.
Some people report master/slave/air in the lines, others are saying a pivot pin caused this issue for them, or maybe it's the throwout bearing.
Where to begin? Or do I just pay $1,000 for a full transmission rebuild...?
