THE BATMAN

So-
For the last few days the SS is Getting hard to shift ,
A quick down shift at say 70 mph from 5th to 3rd won't happen , You have to really try at speed to do that shift .
Every gear including reverse is much harder than ever before , I have checked the lame plastic pcs on the cables , greased the clutch spring and all cables relating to the stick shift , And it's still the same .
everything seems fine , But shifting is worse every day . While sitting it shifts fine in all gears , While driving , Not so much.
Clutch pulls as hard as ever , So i'm at a lose , Any ideas would be much appr. It drives and shifts , But i'm not racing anybody in this condition,
I can't, It just takes to long to make the shift. WTF ?

Might be time to dump the 1.0 batride and start on BATRIDE 2.0 98740 miles as she sits in the garage.
Probally get what i owe on it in a trade.

Mounts?

THE BATMAN

How many motor mounts are on the SS and what should i look for as far as a bad mount ?

whopper

Might be worthwhile to change the tranny fluid maybe? (even tho' Manual says it never needs changing as long as it doesn't leak or loose fluid) https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/how-tutorial-library-21/changing-transmission-fluid-5spd-how-7429/

Chris, I think it is one upper and lower motor mount, and two tranny mounts.
Could also be a blocked fluid passage. Don't take my word though, designer not a mechanic. Could you have a busted linkage?

You know it could just. be pissed off about the Camaro

Thats funny ! ,
I have been talking about the camaro in front of the SS , I was hopeing they would get along . LOL
I wish i knew what was going on . Did 130 mph today , No problem , But geting threw the gears was a slow move. (on a track , LOL)
I'll have to take it in ,
Feeling like at 100,000 miles it might start becoming a money pit . I'll check all mounts in the AM when theres some real light.

THE BATMAN

Thanks for the link , Even if thats not the problem , It's worth a shot.
And i was gonna rest on sunday , HA HA HA .
But i am dam near at at 100,000 miles and do way to much stop and go driving , Keeping my fingers crossed on this one.

clutch could be going maybe?...

No visible filler cap on my 2.0

sleeper

or possibly the slave cylinder.

but that would likely affect gear changes at a stand still...
