> The hydraulic clutch is full and bled.
No
If the transmission will ****ft into a forward gear with the engine off
but not or only with much force when the engine is running and grinds
when ****fting into reverse, your clutch is not releasing all the way.
The most common cause is incomplete bleeding although early models had
problems with the release arm on the transaxle and even later models
could have a bent bracket where the clutch master cylinder pushrod
attaches to the clutch pedal. This last can be checked by looking, the
pin that goes through the end of the rod must be exactly at right
angles. If it is tilted a little the bracket it is mounted on is bent
which reduces clutch travel. Also, if you didn't push the operating rod
of the slave cylinder all the way into the cylinder several times while
bleeding it, you didn't get all the air out. Typically a clutch system
that needs bleeding will feel unusually light, the pedal is real easy to
push down and the force needed doesn't change as you get close to the
floor.
