Can't get it in reverse, have to wriggle the clutch/gears. From red light to green, can't always get in first to go!-How dangerous! Took to Aamco, they think it's the hydros in the clutch. What do you think? and is Aamco ok to have do the work? They charge $70/hr versus $93/hour at the dealer. HELP!

Al 2000 SE Sport Agreed. Now before you get stupid about anything else, try bleeding the clutch to see if the problem is from air in the system. It may be a very simple solution.
