gears go in as usual. clutch feels as usual. there's no transmisson fluid leaking. that night, i grabed both of my axels and they were not loose. it was dark and i didn't notice any leaks. i saw the car yesterday, during the day, didn't notice any leaks either. i had my tranny changed with a rebuilt one 40k miles ago, and then they changed my clutch (at least that's what i paid for). i usually don't abuse the car, so the clutch should be good if it was changed. everything on the engine seems to be perfect...could it be the flywheel? these cables...are they expensive? hard to change??? what else??? thank you for your help.
