Today I just had my trans go out on me and need some input.
About 4 months ago I lost 5th gear it will only shift into 5th if I perfectly match the rpm. Not a problem since I moved an do not do much driving on the HW.
Today when getting off the HW my car stalls when the I come to a stop with the clutch pushed in. After that it will not go into 1st unless I turn off the car and put it in 1st then start to get moving.
I called several shops and no one actually rebuilds or will touch a manual trans. Finally I got a tech that asked me what was happening and I told him what is going on. He believes that it is the fly wheel and or clutch, if it was the trans they usually just replace it.
What are your thoughts should I just have the clutch and flywheel replaced or go with a new trans.
The trans is original to the car and has 398,xxx mi.
I have a new single mass Flywheel and clutch I purchased about a year ago sitting in the basement.
