Angry Tranny Problems (updated)

Well my Tranny had me freaked tonight cause at one point I couldn't get into any gear what so ever it was like they were all blocked out. I had it in neutral and engaged the clutch again let then disengaged it had to repeat that one more time before it would go. Then I also wasn't able to get into 2nd and skip shift was not on. It grinded once when I tried to put it in 2nd. Felt a lot more rough then ever. Getting into any gear is also harder. All of this just happened I never noticed anything wrong till tonight. What should I do? I no absolutly nothing about trannies

Re: Tranny Problems

First can you put the car into gears when the engine is off? If not it has to be eather your shifter, or your transmission is broken.

If it goes into gear with the car off, then check your Clutch master cyl resevoir. It should be on the driverside mounted on the firewall. Make sure and pull out the black rubber thing under the cap, and if there is low or no fluid in there that is probably your problem.
Add brake fluid, and you may have to re-bleed the system (simply by removing the slave cyl and pushing the piston in multiple times should get all of the air bubbles out).

If there is allready fluid in the master cyl resevoir then eather you master cyl, slave cyl, or clutch is broken.

Re: Tranny Problems

yep can get into gear with the car off but reverse and 5th are amazingly hard.

Re: Tranny Problems

Oh would it help telling you guys that it would pop out of reverse long before this happened?

Re: Tranny Problems

sounds like your clutch is toast.

the reason for popping out of reverse is a tranny issue (which can be fixed).

BUt all your other problems are the clutch.

Re: Tranny Problems

Ok I checked the fluid and some came out the fill hole so I put the plug back in real quick. I checked the stops on the pro 5.0 and they are fine. I was able to shift perfectly fine before I started the car hit every gear no problem. I then turned on the car and had it in reverse was able to back up. put in 1st and went forward. I then put it back in neutral. I went inside to get my wallet and cell phone so I could drive it around. Well when I went to back out of my driveway I had lost reverse again. First it wasn't even going up into reverse. Then I disengaged then engaged the clutch and it grinded but I was able to get it into R. Backed out went into first went to shift into second and lost every gear again. I can shift to neutral no problem. I have to keep disengaging and engaging the clutch and it will finally let me in gear. So what is my problem? Clutch or tranny? Oh and I saw the fill hole for the tranny(cause it said fill right next to it) but I didn't see the drain hole is that on the otherside? I was on the drivers side of the tranny.
