Has anyone encountered a problem where when I fully press the clutch, I sometimes can't put the car into first? If I "force" it, I can put it into first gear, but it seems like that amount of force can eventually snap the shaft.
I suspect that when I am pressing the clutch down, it's not actually lifting as high as it should, so I can't put it into the gear I want it to.
Also, this may be related, but as soon as I make a complete stop, and put my car into reverse, my gears grind. I don't know why this is the case, but it may have to do with the clutch not disengaging fully? Sometimes I can put it into reverse without any problems, other times, it would grind, and it's embarrassing when people are walking down the street only to hear the grinding.
