5 Speed acting odd
Sunday, January 11, 2009 5:24 PM
I have a 98 Cavalier, 2.2 OHV, with the manual. First of all the clutch pedal is really low, like when your brakes are getting worn. It was low on fluid but that didn't help. Also It is kinda hard to shift gears sometimes, and recently first gear has been hard to get into. I was think the clutch is going, but I'm not sure. I work as a mechanic, but my shop doesn't do major engine or transmission work. The car has 156,000 on it, and its probably the original clutch and such. The clutch doesn't slip under hard acceleration or hills...so whats my next step ?

Did you try bleeding the clutch?
