Okay.. I try to help out everyone else, whenever possible.. Let's see if I can get a little help, here..
My MTX-75 (E1 SVT) is starting.. correction IS... VERY hard to downshift from 5-4.. I LITERALLY have to PULL.. HARD... I don't wanna force it, as I know this is bad, but I can't get it to come out of gear in any other way.. (Well, with the exception of pulling downwards on the shifer while releashing the clutch... the gear pops out, then.
Shifting upwards is starting to grind, alot, as well..
Walk you through it..
I start in first, as I approach time to shift, clutch goes in (nice and firm, still) I pull downwards to go to second, and it is VERY notchy.. it finally "feels" like it slipped into 2, and then I release the clutch, and "GRIIIINNNND" and the gear pops out..
Slap it back in two, this time it stays..
It is not like the way it was when I got it. I started out slightly notched, but SMOOTH.. now it is HARD. That feeling is in EVERY gear, upwards, to 5.
Once having gone into every gear once, the shift between gears is EASY. (with the exception of 5-4.. a BIATCH...)
What could cause this?
Any other info needed, please tell me..
Ray

I saw Terry at SZ tell someone else that the "notchy" feeling was the throw out bearing.
I asked him why mine would pop out of 2nd on occasion, he said it was the synchro's.
Hope this helps ya some,
Mike

Just trying to budget $$ for the upcoming (I know it..) expense..
