T5 Shift Problems After some stop and go driving the other day(about an hour), I noticed it was getting difficult to shift into 1st gear. 2nd gear was also getting stiffer, although not as much. Fluid should be fine, as I filled it 4 months ago and it doesn't leak.
I'm thinking this is a linkage adjustment. I have a hydraulic clutch with a slave cylinder. Any thoughts?? Thanks Joe |
Re: T5 Shift Problems Full of fluid and not leaking does not guarantee the workings of either the master, or the slave.
Typically a failing of either cylinder will show up as you describe. A gradual loss of service resulting in harder shifts. Particularly trying to engage first gear at a standstill. To verify the action it helps to have a buddy work the pedal while you measure the action at the slave. Or even better if you remove enough flooring to view the slave. First thing though, I would try bleeding the slave to remove the possibility of air having gotten into the picture. Good Luck. |
Re: T5 Shift Problems It may also be the pilot bearing is trying to lock up on the input shaft.

Re: T5 Shift Problems As far as I know, T5 has no adjustable linkage as the shifter is mounted atop the trans and operates the shift rail directly. Never saw any adjustable stuff in there, or anywhere else.

Re: T5 Shift Problems Did you use ATF? when you filled it??

Re: T5 Shift Problems T5's have little nylon pads on the shift forks, that have a habit of cracking and falling off. Is the throw noticeably longer in 1 - 2?
|
Re: T5 Shift Problems If it is the nylon piece on the shifter they sell a replacement metal one or the nylon ones. The stock shifter does not have any stops and it is fairly easy to bend and/or crack the shift forks on the gears.

Only you know how it has been driven, but if you are into hard shifts (as in pushing and pulling on the shifter hard) internal damage is a possibility. My grandkids were good at messing them up until I got the stops set up correctly! Think I have some damaged ones in the garage, I can post a photo later. |
Re: T5 Shift Problems Does it grind while shifting into reverse? If so, then the clutch is not fully disengaging.
That can also make it more difficult to shift into forward gears also. General rule of thumb in our shop is, disengage the clutch and count 1001,1002,1003, then shift it in reverse. If it does not grind, the clutch is fully disengaging. If it does grind then there is a clutch issue. Bill |

Re: T5 Shift Problems Was it the solid brass, or one with the needle bearing, they tend to get dry, then lock up.
