Re: cold clutch engagement problem

["Allyn" <amalventano1@home.com>]

Tolerance a bit close on one of your syncros/fork perhaps. Its 'trying' to
go into gear all the time. Imagine sitting with clutch out and trying to
shift into first. Push hard enough on the stick and the car will start
moving, due to only syncro action. The effect would be greater with the
tranny cold (flued more viscous).
