Shifting problems after transmission replacement

Ben370 · 04-22-2021, 09:48 PM

I changed transmission, clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, pilot bushing, master cylinder, ZSpeed CSC, short shifter, and had it bled again.
After bleeding, shifted nice for a few minutes but tough shifting came back. Mechanic said he noticed some weeping from the bleed screw after bleeding. Could it be the CSC even though I just changed it? Mechanic was saying synchros, but I doubt that as well since everything's new.

So... why didn't he fix it when he noticed it? You have a leak in the hydraulic system; fix that and it may fix your other problems, too.

I only asked for the bleed, not troubleshooting so I didn't get charged since he didn't fix it.

Update: asked mechanic and he was saying the leak was with the bleeder threads so getting a new bleed screw and hoping that fixes it.

Final update: the pressure plate bolts were loose because I didn't tighten them enough. That was the problem the whole time.
