[QUOTE="kirks5oh, post: 4524755, member: 23235"] time to redo some things my man. my '87 had a slightly bad tranny when i bought it--would grind on quick 1-2 shifts when it was cold out. so that problem sounds like its your synchro gears. if the clutch is grabing right at the floor, try to put your foot under the clutch pedal and pull up on it to adjust the clutch (assuming your clutch, and clutch cable are stock). if it doesn't adjust, it means your cable is stretched out, a common problem with these older cars. if i were you, i would yank the transmission and get a rebuild ($600-$750), i would put a new clutch cable with an adjustable quadrant, and firewall adjuster ($100), and a new clutch/pilot bearing/rear main oil seal ($200). also, resurface your flywheel, or buy a new one ($25-100). it seems like a lot to do, but it will solve ALL of your problems. or you could limp the car along until you can afford to do all of it--i would not half-ass this job, the labor is such that you need to do everything at once (it doesn't make sense to fix the tranny and not put a new clutch in). hope this helps [/QUOTE]
