Over the last few months I have periodically felt unusual resistance when trying to shift the car into neutral while coming to a stop at pretty slow speeds.

Since it has gotten colder, it has started to happen a bit more frequently so I had the tranny fluid and Oil fluid changed 1000 miles ago thinking that would help.

I Had the clutch replaced less than 2 years go but am wondering if this is the signs of a sticking pressure plate or possibly a synchro is starting to go bad.

The speeds are usually under 20 mph and even sometimes happen when trying to shift from first to neutral around 15mph while coming to stop.

I have nearly 73,000 miles

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,

 

I'd chase down the hydraulic side before anything else.

1. Change fluid
2. Polish slave rod and re-grease
3. Validate Slave and Master Cyls are in good shape.

In order too.

 

I need to check mine also.
