Re: [ST] Clutch / 1st gear



Make sure that your oil level is not to high. I've found that if I 
over fill the engine even a little shifting is harder, especially 
getting it into neutral. Also check that you have the correct amount 
of clutch free play at the lever. And last check the shifter linkage 
for slop. The part that attaches to the rod coming out of the trans 
can get loose but DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN and make sure the pivot at the 
back is cleaned and lubed and the pivots under the rubber caps.
