Well I have a 91' 4.0L with the mazda m50d that we're all familiar with. It shifts hard. I am assuming the syncros and snycro sleeves have taken a dump. However, I have evaluated my clutch. I have bleeded it and have found no leaks around the slave cylinder in the bellhousing. I have clutch pressure, but the weird thing to me is when I start the truck and move it out of first and release the clutch it creeps forward a bit. Must I add that when shifting, which is quite difficult, it helps to release the clutch just a bit to help engage the gear. That says to me that the clutch might not have much to do with it, yet I could be completely wrong. Any replies would be most appreciated.
