Sluggish Gears

[Rebel]

Hi,

I just bought my third K10, and I have a little problem with the gears..
It´s quite hard to shift gears from time to time... (Manual Transmission)
I´ve changed the oil, but it is still sluggish to shift gears...

Suggestions, anyone?

mite want 2 replace the gearbox

 

[Rebel]

You think it´s that bad...?
The car is a -90 and hasn´t run more than 14000 Kilometers....:down:

Is it not a stiff gear linkage, or badly adjusted clutch?

 

[james betley]

so is mine i have had 4 gearboxes in mine gearboxes r week they dont last long change the gearbox that mite solve the problem

 

[Rebel]

The clutch seems ok, and I sprayed the links with WD-40 oil...
The rubber suspension to the gearshifter looks quite ugly, though... could they be the problem...?

 

[james betley]

i dont think so

 

[Rebel]

But when I lie under the car I can push the stickshift upwards, about one inch, because of the bad rubbersuspension...
The linkage should thus hang in wrong angle towards the gearbox...

(Pardon my bad english, hope you understand what I write... )

 

[james betley]

when u sit in the car does the gear shift go up and down when u press it

 

[Rebel]

No, but I can pull it upwards...

 

[james betley]

and if u let go does it sink back down

 

[Ed]

it needs new rubbers but that wont help too much.

 

[Slim]

it'll just be a stiff linkage

 

[Rebel]

Is this a common problem?
