I have no down shift pressure when down shifting ?
Thursday, May 19, 2005 12:58 PM
I have a 1988 Pontiac Sunbird 2 dr coupe Le 5 speed, I had this car for a year it is in fairly decent shape to be 17 years old. After I bought this car I notice it shake and shutter and buck when coming out of 1st to fast, which was kind of odd being I've been driving 5 speeds for 10 years. I thought it may had something to do with the pressure plate, it also doesn't have any down shift pressure when down shifting and it also jumps out of 2nd gear when driving. I told my mechanic to change the clutch out which he did not do, he told me that I just needed a clutch cylinder, I'm still not having any down shift pressure to slow the car down, and I'm having to been my knee releasing the clutch in order to engage the clutch. To sum it all up I think this mechanic has @!#$ted me out my money!, what do you guys think whats causing this problem with my transmission?
