I was searching old posts, but I could not find the one I was looking for related to how the clutches fail on V8V manuals. I am starting to find that, in relation to the normal force needed to shift from first to second, that much less force is needed to shift if I am accelerating hard. The transmission has never slipped out of first, but with hard acceleration (not normal acceleration) it only takes slight finger pressure to shift out of first. Sign of a failing clutch or normal?? I don't remember experiencing this when I first got the car a year ago...

 

i think it could be the adjustment of the cables (under the gear lever) normally dealer will calibrate or set it, do you battle to get reverse gear? if so it just an adjustment

 

Not too much problem getting into reverse, but I will ask them to look at it when I take the car in for next service. Thx, JR
