clutch or transmission

[Peter Golledge]

If you didn't replace the Clutch master/slave I'm willing to bet they are a
likely culprit.  I'd say there is enough pressure to just get a partial
dis-engage of the clutch.  Try bleeding to see if things are better for a
while.  If the slave/master do turn out bad, replace both, with this many
miles one will follow the other as sure as night/day.

My '90 200 tqa with 261k miles is having a problem shifting.  I'll try to
describe conditions.

I can press the clutch and put it in gear, 1st or reverse and move off
slowly and press the clutch and stop.

I run it up normally in 1st gear, press the clutch to shift and it won't
shift, just like I didn't press the clutch.
The car also slows down as I have lifted off the throttle, just like it
would do if one didn't press the clutch.

Same will happen if I can struggle up thru the gears. 

As I try to shift with the clutch pedal pushed and the throttle off the car
slows,  sometimes a little jerky.  However if I apply throttle the engine
will speed up like a slipping clutch.

At a standstill I can shift into any gear.  I can hold the clutch pedal down
for extended time and the car doesn't start to creep.I can still put it in
gear.

I do not notice any difference in the pedal feel.

The problem seems to be related to the car moving.

Clutch pressure plate, disc, throw out bearing, pilot bearing have 11k
miles.

So, what failure in the trans could cause this?  What  are symptoms of
failing torsen? 

Looking for some good explanations or WAG.

I'll ask trans swap questions in separate post.
