i know what the problem is and its netiher of them, theres air in the clutch oil flow, all u need to do is loosen the valve for the clutch oil under the hood, its like a little rod looking type thing, just lossen it get some one to press down the clutch slowly and hold it there, while there holding it tighte the valve and ur good to go, but u have tio manualy opull the clutch back up cause it will stay down

i had the exact same problem and thats how i fixed it

p.s. you might need to do it about once every 2 weeks or so

show me a pic of ur engine and i'll label where the valve is for u

hey when I downshift to second it grinds. But when going from 1st to 2nd its ok. Sometimes if I push the shift knob a little up to first but not totally in, then go second its ok. Recently I replaced the shifter cables so they should be fine. btw i have a 2.4 cavy 96'
