Hard to downshift 1st/2nd...Throwout bearing???
just fixed 5th/6th and Reverse keys, put in new stock clutch.... I put some grease on the input shaft/pilotbearing... i did not touch the throwout bearing.... this is the only thing i have done...... bled clutch with mighty vac and replaced all the fluid, THEN bled again using the bleeder screw.. clutch feels GREAT.! But I can only get into first and second while sitting still, and even then its sometimes difficult..... what is causing my problem?????
also reverse lockout is not working correctly and my speedometer is not working now??? blown fuse???
thanks for any help suggestions..

would too much grease on pilot would cause this??? or do you think maybe i just need to bleed the clutch more??? its got me kinda stressed/pissed.....tranny works great on upshifts... i can bang the hell outta the gears.. its just downshifting thats my issues..
clutch engages pretty high up in the pedal travel....right where it should...

That would be a good idea, if you have or know someone with a mighty-vac pump you can power bleed it. Too much grease on pilot, no, but not good for the clutch disc if it wer to fling outward on the disc area. Tiny amounts of air will just compress enough to cause slight problems but not always noticable on peadle.

Push clutch and instantly put into gear results in a grind.
