Did a quick run through the gears tonight from slow roll to three digits.
When shifting to 3rd it didn't go in smoothly so I pushed it through, not with high force but with firmer force above normal.
At the end of the run there was a slight smell of burning so the clutch might have been slipping some.
Now the box is not shifting smoothly like it was before the run.
Most shifts are notchy and clunk heavily. Sometimes it won't go into any gear at all without rolling the car, sometimes it's very smooth.
I rolled the car gently forward with the motor running and switched through the gears a few times. At some points in the slow roll the shifts were clean and easy, other points it wouldn't go in easily or at all.
I have a CF DF and a UPR FW adjuster which were working fine and smooth for the last year. I already checked the adjuster and the pedal has around a 1/2" of play as it's always had.
Did I bend a shift fork or the shifter itself?
What's the significance of the burning smell? Not sure how a slightly (or worse?) slipped clutch at high revs could cause this?
Would a bent shift fork forcing into third at high revs cause all gears to hard shift at certain positions of the drive shaft?
