Also at times I have trouble selecting 4th or 2nd gear, and I can never down shift to 2nd, and in neutral the release bearing is noisy. So my question is, could these be symptoms of a bad clutch? or could there be multiple problems? I just need sum opinions from ppl who know these cars, so I know what course of action to take.
bad throw out bearing, possibly slipping clutch. take the tranny off and look, you will need to get a new clutch kit.
also could be this plus tranny failing, but before you toss the tranny do the clutch. if the tranny shifts smooth through gears when its cold generally its probably fine. your priority once again is a new clutch and new t/o, pilot bearing. good luck
