Very hard to shift sum-times not shifting at all??

- Mon Feb 14, 2011 1:46 pm #238458 This is the second time this happened to me. The fist time i didn't drive the car for a couple of days, when i tried to put the gear in reverse it wasn't slipping into gear, it wasn't slipping into any of the gears. but when the car is switched off the gears goes in fine, after bout a hour or so i tried back and it worked normal.
This morning the same thing happened again "and made me late for work :x "
what causes that???
a buddy on mines told me it could be that water/moisture got into the fly wheel and that was causing it to stick and when the water drys off it'll work like normal again. is that true :?
what do yall think? has it ever happened to any of yall?

could the water/moisture theory be true ?

- Tue Feb 15, 2011 4:02 pm #238616 There's a seal inside that can be replaced but I've only replaced the whole unit. I got one from 1Aauto on here before when my EK MC went out, it was cheap.
Or you can use an S2000 MC if you want to make an upgrade out of it. I put one in my EG and it feels so good every time I press the clutch pedal! It's a direct fit :D

when they go out the clutch with hold its grip but the bearing not spinning with act as if its not releasing.

just my thoughts :thumb:
