NorthWet Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 First thought is that the clutch is misadjusted, in that it is not releasing the clutch enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank B Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I agree. After you get the clutch adjusted, change the gear oil in the tranny. Substitute 1 quart of gear oil with Rislone. It can be bought at most parts stores and Wal-mart. It will clean up the syncros. Leave it in for a couple thousand miles, than change it out again with just gear oil.
