List,
I know someone on the list has the answers
to my questions could you please help me?
question number 1:
strange shifting, driving at any speed. BUT NOT WHILE STOPPED
When shifting from any gear the shift knob
always "waits" before engaging. Clutch in, push
to 3rd, hit a stop for about half a second
hold pressure on the shift knob, and then
engage...why?? seems to me it should be a s-m-o-o-th
transition? The car has 133k on it and it has always
done that<had it for about 1 year>.      
Question number 2:
Grinding of 3rd gear.
Stop at a red light, go, 1st gear till 5000rpm great
except for question number 1, 2nd gear ride till 5000rpm
fine. 3rd gear...clutch in 5000rpm off gas try for 3rd,
ouch! grinds for half a second as it hit's 3rd...ONLY above
4800rpm or so... what is that?  
some one told me it could be the syncro? could be the linkages?
what do you all think?? any one BTDT?????
Question number 3:
Is it the master or slave.
The clutch is now on the floor, how can I tell if I need a new
slave or master cyl?? also it is MUCH worse if it's cold<almost
can't get it to disengage the tranny>
I know someone has had at least ONE of these problems, please let
me learn from your experience....Thanks a mountain in advance!!!!
