im stuck on a problem can any one help me

i own a 1991 toyota mr2 and recently its gotten really hard to switch into gears. back in october i had purchased a high performance clutch in my car that grabbed very hard off firts gear. 2 months later i couldnt switch gear it had gotten very hard so i took it in and they told me the clucht was worn out. so i purchased a new one and still the same problem. 2 years ago i had encountered the same problem but it came to be my slave and master sylinders had gone bad so i replaced them and the car ran great. well the mekanics told me the the sylinders were bad again because the high performance clutch i had installed in october was too much and they were shot again. so i replaced the cylinders again put in a new flywheel because the old one was wore out bought new motor mounts all around even changed the cables that run from the shifter to the transmission, and still the same problem. the only time im able to switch gears some wat ok is wen the car is moving. im about to purchase a new pressure plate from the dealer because they tell me that might be the problem too. but the pressure plate it has on there has les than ten miles on it. i dont know wat else to do. im running out of options. heeeelp.

Sounds like the clutch isn't fully releasing (is dragging). Your slave cylinder might not be stroking far enough to fully release the aftermarket clutch, or something about the clutch itself may be not quite right.

Get one rear tire off the ground (both if this thing has limited slip, but its a front-wheel drive, I believe, so it prob. won't), put it in neutral, e-brake off (you did shut it off and bloick the tires, right?) see how much effort it takes to spin the tire.

Now have a bud put it in 1st and put the clutch pedal to the floor- it should be about as easy to turn the wheel. A little harder, but not much harder.

Sounds to me like you have been the victim of incompetence. I think I would look for a good mechanic and start over with a proper diagnosis. I hope that through all this someone bothered to check the fluid in the transmission and the that clutch release bearing was also replaced with the clutch.

God luck.

Hey that high pro clutch may have been too much and damaged something

what kind of fluid is in that tranny that matters alot. toyotas usually use automatic tranny fluid in their manual trannies .. gear oil is too much for them find out what your car uses and make sure its in their one of the mechanics may have topped it off too heavy of a fluid good luck

hey man you need to find out if one of the times it was worked on a mechanic didnot put too heavy of a fluid in it. most toyotas use atf in their manual trannies someone may have topped it off with too heavy of a fluid and that will make it stiff. good luck

Doesn't sound like it was worn out. It sounds like it was warped due to excessive heat from slipping the clutch. You might consider buying a vehicle with auto transmission.

The same problem being it lasted only 2 mos? Or are you telling us they gave you the car back where you couldn't shift into 1st gear when stopped?
