Hi friends,
I have some issues in the clutch-tranny set that I want to share with you, in order to understand the problem right.
Clutch:
The pedal is heavier now than before, and I don´t want to have knee problems in the near future...Must I change the whole clutch kit or some specific part of it? It if yes...which one? Part number?
Transmission:
The problem is that sometimes, 1st gear becomes difficult to engage, so, I have to put the gear in Rev, and then put again 1st gear...then works perfect. And permanently when I go from 1st to 2nd, a little sound appears, and the gear engage, but not smoothly as I want. Is like that it cost a little more to nomal to engage correctly. Is that a Clutch or Tranny problem?
Finally, it is possible to change my manual tranny to an auto tranny....for rocks I think is better to have a auto. What tranny could be? ..something to be near to a bolt-on swap...but from all the read in this forum, I think that I have to avoid the explorer tranny. Is there another option?...not so complicated...
Thanks in advance for your comments
