Default Need your thoughts!

Just wondering what your thoughts are...

car is an 02 M6 WS6

I am having a hard time getting it in gear under WOT. i have to slam it into gear for the most part. it goes into gear fine while under normal driving conditions with the exception of reverse while stopped. Any idea what the problem is? my thoughts are maybe a slave cylinder. i am going to swap the fluid in her soon and see if that helps. what say you? lol

That sounds exactly like the issues you'd run into with a worn out master cylinder. Get a new one OR if you have the money, I would definitely get the Tick Performance adjustable master cylinder. High quality and works great.

You can get one at kragen, auto zone, ect... For about $40. Its sometimes called a hand vacuum pump or something along those lines. Its in the tools section next to the sockets and stuff.
