    Default idk what is wrong with my car!

    my car is becoming harder everyday to shift gears... every gear it is hard to shift into... and at WOT I can barely get it into 3rd... on top of that when I accelerate my.front end shakes alot... I'm hoping my shifting problem is just I need a new TOB and the shaking might be my axles going out or I need new wheel bearings... any ideas?

    stock clutch is self adjusting; shift linkage is set it and forget it, trans synchros either work or its broken. Cant help you without more details about what you have checked; even then internet diagnosis is redonkulous.

    dont know how hard/fast you are shifting etc etc.

    have an experienced tech look at it first hand

    LSJ? LNF? What??? Sounds like a failing TOB or air in the line.

    Need input.

    So's the LSJ TOB. Leaking fluid under the trans? Sounds like the clutch is dragging.

    I know when I had air trapped in the line, it got worse as the temps dropped. Same symptoms as he has (for the clutch) Had to bleed it on a SPEC S2+ a few more times, then it was fine.

    Don't know about the shaking though. Different issue.

    this is water drip torture. You gotta spell out all the things you see. Fluid dripping under the trans? color? taste? if brake fluid its amber, tastes bitter. clutch hydraulics likely. TOB?SJ or LNF? If LSJ good bet is the TOB.

    gmpp upgrade clutch from CED 276 + shippping best value bar none.
