I tried a couple of things over the weekend:
1. As advised by Justen, I dropped the existing fluid (Penrite 75/90 full synthetic) and replaced it with Dexron III. However, this made the shifting even harder when cold, and was not much better when warm. So I'll be dropping this stuff and going back to full synth, perhaps another brand?
2. The problem is that it's very difficult to shift into 3rd and 5th gears, and down into 2nd. Attempting to shift without double clutching is almost impossible. I find that reving it in neutral when shifting up can sometimes be the only way to get into 5th and 3rd gears. Forcing it really feels like I'm going to break something.
I'll be checking the shifter cables for kinks this weekend.
Here are some thoughts:
- Syncro problem? However the shifting sometimes works perfect when shifting into and down. It almost feels like the gears are not linked properly and just jams the shift. Wouldn't syncro wear present itself all the time? (like it did in my old 185)
I've yet to come accross a broken ST205 box. I don't believe this one is anywhere near 100k.
The clutch is a twin plate, with low K's, and takes a bit of leg muscle to engage.
Ideas anyone?
