Hi, guys say i just replaced the clutch in my 2014, Mustang GT and flywheel. Because it was getting stuck in reverse. It drove grain for a month, but now it's getting stuck again. Even worse, any ideas, what this could be?
 
I have some theories on this since my Gt500 does same thing occasionally. For some reason modern trannies use what is basically automatic trans type coatings instead of real brass synchro rings like God intended. This means that they are highly sensitive to the type of ATF used in them, and also that if they sit for very long, especially on an incline ( under load) the material.will " squeeze" the lubricant out of the rings and cause them to stick. For this reason, I actively try not to park on inclines, or leave it in neutral and use the parking brake. When I do forget, I usually am able to rock the car back n forth a bit and it will break free. I would hesitate to just force it out of gear since, except for a a Doug Nash or whatever, the shifting mechanisms are usually frail. I recently tried Royal Purple, it seemed to help..maybe..kinda. Any way, those are my thoughts on it, as long as the trans is under load, it will be an issue. It can also be an issue going in, but if its in neutral,the spinning of the internals will lubricate things enough so that it will go. This won't work if the trans is in gear.
Lastly..why is spellcheck capitalizing Trans?
Why do I have to go back n fix spellcheck errors?
 
Only reverse? Or gets stuck in any gear?
Now it's any gear . What I can do is put it in gear with the motor not running though then start out that way and after it warms up a little it will shift then. I have this looked at 4x . First air out of the clutch line. Then bleed the brake fluid I think it was . Then a new clutch and flywheel and now still stuck when the motor is running
 
Yeah I was thinking TOB. But it could be your trans too. Did you replace the TOB? Have you lost any brake fluid? Does pumping the clutch help?

Good luck. Hope it's just air in the lines or TOB. If there is or was a leak I think that can cause clutch disc/pressure plate damage also... The McLeod bleeder valve worked well for one of the situations I found myself in.
 
Im pretty sure they did. I got the SR performance clutch kit from American muscle a new flywheel
 
thats the biggest thing I hate about these mickey mouse hydraulic clutch cylinders, you have to pull the trans to shim them, it's stupid, it is also harder to power shift, give me a cable or linkage any day

You know, man, it's weird after it warms up.It's smooth as butter and shifts.Great. I have to start it in gear because it won't kill in gear.When it's cold. I'm thinking that maybe it could be from this leap.I've been noticing
