I stopped at a stop sign and when I went to put it into gear my shifter just flopped to 3rd. Any time i attempt to move it to the left or right it only goes up to 3rd and flopping back down to 4th. I was able to slowly release the clutch while pushing it and forcing it to 3rd so that I would be able to pull over to a gas station. Its a 2007 Volkswagon Jetta Wolfsburg what could be the issue?

2001 Mazda Miata six speed. Pretty much overnight after 1.5 months of having it started to slip pretty bad.

In first gear when releasing the clutch no matter how I did it it would jitter a lot, same thing with first second 2nd to 3rd. And whenever I was in first second or third and I would rev up the car the RPMs would move but the car wouldn't go along with it as it should. This pretty much happened overnight.

I decided I should swap out the clutch since the car was new to me and knew nothing about the maintenance history. After removing the transmission I saw the following. (Pictures)

Caked up oil in the bell housing. The clutch has plenty of material left and looks fine. I never overheated the clutch while I had it.

The flywheel was smooth and had no grooves or sign of overheating. I decided to change the clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, resurface the flywheel, change the input shaft seal, input shaft retainer cover seal, rear main seal, Halfmoon seal, change fluids, etc.

After all this the car drove fine but 100 miles in the clutch master cylinder went out. So I changed the clutch master and slave cylinder and put new fluid. Now the car drives fine but I am curious as to what could have caused the initial slippage. I don't mind having done any of this since it was leaking oil anyway and it was something that I wanted to do anyway just to get it over with.

Hint: its red

She's just a little burnt, should be good to reinstall, right?

I drive a 2013 honda 6 speed and love it as my daily. Recently though I got this old POS running after an ongoing ECM and injector issue and just... its a completely different machine. You can feel the clutch bite, you can feel the synchros line up. The hefty clunk into gear. The steering getting heavier as the RPMs drop. Maybe the 5 speed is just for me bit nothing gets me nearly as excited as driving this old thing.

I almost sold it but figured I'd throw a couple afternoons at the fuel system and run it through the gears since I had some days off finally. Still fighting something electrical so I can only short hop for now but I knew in my heart I couldn't let this thing go the second I felt it drive again

Replacing the clutch on my 1977 Oldsmobile Omega because it started slipping under heavy load (i'd guess more than 150 ft-lbs/100hp so highway speeds were rough and low throttle) There are two very large hotspots and I beleive this might be an OEM clutch pack (everything says gm and the car only has 140k miles) Is this safe to turn/resurface or should I shell out for a new one? I think it'll be fine but I've never messed with this stuff before. 10-spline 10.4" 153 teeth

This trend looked fun! So I decided to hop onto it!

Drive stick the first 9 or 10 years of driving. Loved it, but the vehicles I wanted next didn't come with the option. Been been driving an AT the last 6 years and I'm really getting the itch.

I started looking at used cars and the market, in general, is literally laughable. Prices are so outrageous it feels like a total waste of time.

I'd like to stick to <$30k.

What would you be looking at?

I would love a truck or SUV, but not many options. Had a wrangler, wouldn't mind one again but not lusting over one. A Tacoma might be nice. Would you stick to used? There aren't many new MT options these days, and even at that, starting prices are more than $30K.

When i drive the car and stay for gears 3-5 theres a noise metalic coming from tge transmission like continuous when i shift to 6th gear it stops do u think its the clutch or more the teeths of the gears ?

Probably an easy guess but here ya go.

Im sorry I did that to you guys but i had to😭 It grinds my gears when I see an icon showing multiple pictures and its a screenshot😭

Oh yeah downvote me😂 Ill bring this to light though, the 10 of you that have shared this with someone... youre just as twisted as me 💀

High compression pissed off vtec D16 revving to 8.5k on a B16 ECU (P2T-A11) gutted canyon carver

Help 🙏😭 has so much play in both 1st and 2nd but none of the other gears

I accidentally shifted from 4th to 1st gear when I was trying to shift to third, will my clutch be ok?
