Clutch or Tranny Question

[lmcgrew79]

Sitting still in my 2008, its kinda hard to get into 1st gear like coming to stop or just sitting in the garage. All gear are a lil hard to get into gear just sitting still. Seems to shift pretty good, thru the gears. I replaced the trans fluid a few hrs ago and it still feels about the same.
1. Im gonna flush my clutch fluid tommorrow to see if that helps any.
2. Is there an adjustment on the clutch?
3. Is anyone else having or had this problem? And if so what was the solution?

How many miles are on the car? There did seem to be some issues early in 08 with clutch fluid. So a bleed may help. Use the factory dot4 brake and clutch fluid or Motul 600. Dont use a dot3 in the clutch. There is no adjustment on the clutch system.

Had this issue with my 09 at 30,000 miles. It turned out to be the clutch/slave cyl.

The car was certaintly drivable, and did not slip, but I wanted to have the shifting as smooth as possible so I replaced the clutch/slave cyl and it now shifts like B-u-t-t-a-h.

18000 miles. I flushed and bled the clutch with castrol srf. Took the car out for a spin to heat up the tranny , it seems to be a lil better. Notchy not buttery, but when it warms up its much better. Just got back from 2 weekends at mid ohio, fluid was pretty dark. MGW on its way. One more question. When i drained the tranny im assuming it was factory fluids. I pulled the fill drain first and some fluid came out. So i over filled a little after draining and let it drain out until it was about the same as factory. From what i read these are fill to the fill hole, but the rake in the car causes the tranny not to sit level in the car. My lift is level but the tranny isnt in the bubbles level. Maybe ill jack the car up to make the tranny level. Just a thought.
