My transmixer is just about in need of a clutch, and I want to freshen things up while I'm in there. For 185,000 miles, what should I look at replacing? It's a little tough to get in 1st gear, takes some finesse to shift to second, and every now and then wants to chirp a little getting into 3rd. Synchros? And the clutch isn't really slipping, it just doesn't seem to engage (or is it disengage?) completely. When it's real cold I get a little puddle of hydraulic fluid in the floor behind the pedal, and it's hard to mash. I just figure with this many miles if I drop the transmission I might as well replace most of the normal wear items. I just wanted any insight as to what could be the culprit of the hard shifting. Thanks!
