Have a couple of niggly probs with the car recently. i could bang it up on stands and have a dig but i thought id fish for a few ideas here with you legends first.
Problem 1: only noticed it this week, may have been there a bit longer. car has been standing for a month due to my dabble with a polo again (ghay!) anyway travelling along i apply the brake they start to work, then the peddle like jumps 10mm the brakes seem to disengage for this split second. very strange problem i have never encountered before. anyone else had this? will deffo be investigating this on the weekend, may be poopoo fluid, or MC?
problem 2: this has been here since i changed the engine and clutch. basically first is very very hard to engage, 2nd is hard to engage, and some times third, but first sometimes just feels like im going to bend the gear stick, it does not crunch the gear when it goes in. im thinking maby i have lined something up wrong on the linkage side, i have tried adjusting the cable in and out and it didnt seem to make much difference appart from the bite point.
any input appreciated if you have had any experience. im still learning the jap car fundimentals
