Please learn how to use the search function

 

so after using my search optjon still havent found my answer its very difficult getting the vehicle in reverse and first everything else is fine the care drives fine

 

Check clutch pedal welding points and bleed clutch line.

 

Did you read through the links I gave you?

We're starting with the usual or most likely causes and we need you to investigate and report back.

 

yes i checked those links then checked my vehicle and compared the welding looks to be fine fine theres no pressure in the clutch its very difficult puttin the car in 1st and re erse but when the vehicle is off the car goes into gear as easily as before

 

Was any work recently done on your car?
Miss any shifts on your trip?
Anything else seem different about your car? Squishy brakes maybe?
When was your tranny fluid swapped last?
When was your brake fluid swapped last?
When was the last time you replaced your clutch?
How many miles are on your car?
When you say the pedal is "loos"...do you mean right to left or up and down?
When you say it is difficult to get the car into first and reverse, do you grind or does it just not go into gear?

 

car was driven as it always has owned the car for about 6 months now from mazda they sad it has a brand new clutch and fluids were just replaced clutch pedal is up and down loose i am going to remove the physical pedal again to inspect. i would like some one with me while i do all this because im not vwlery RX8 savvy

 

shifting into first requires muscle as well as reverse 53k on vehicle

gunna need pictures im kinda dee de dee

 

Sorry all out of spoons today...youre going to have to use the search. There are pictures in a couple places and even a video.

 

okay ive located the nipple on trans so come tonight ill be making a video on how to bleed for dummiesfor

 

uhhhhh....what are you planning on doing with your trans? There is nothing to bleed on a trans.

 

I hope he means the slave cylinder?

Wasn't there a TSB...


found it

But how would anyone film/photograph something that is bolted to the top of tranny? You can barely see it from the top if you know what you're looking for and you can barely get a hand on it from the bottom.

Update: Wow...good find Darkbrew

 

its not the little tiny nipple on the trans behind oil filter if it isnt then i am once again lost

 

ive used search option and havent found a video at all

 

The little nipple behind the oil filter is for the secondary slave cylinder used for the clutch pedal and is what needs to be bled.

 

Odd...I searched for Clutch and found this video...it should be on the end of it.

so one tiny break in the fire wall support for the clutch i am still innvestigating why it is so difficult to get in in gears

 

the threads that retain the clutch wont hold the nuts on it keeps backing out

 

i had something like this happen on my other car.
it was the master and slave cly that needed replacing

 

Did you torque them to spec or just get them tight enough?

 

doesnt even get finger tight it it doesmt screww qll the way to the wall just 1stthread wjen i try to continue it falls off
