Unless you have an AWD car, the tranny can come out without pulling the engine. I've heard this is possible in an AWD car also, just trickier.

Thanks Chris. The car does not lurch forward when starting it in gear. Do you know why this problem only shows up on deceleration?

I will look into just dropping the transmission. If there's anyone in San Diego who has a good setup for this, I'll buy the beer. And not Natural Light, the good stuff like Mickey's.

My car didn't exhibit the lurching symptom.

Interesting, my car has the exact same issue, when decelerating, the car is hard to pull out in gear. Any resolution Psagazio? When accelerating or light throttle, I can flip it out of gear with my pinky. If i'm braking or engine braking, I have to use my hand to move it, clutch pedal all the way in both times.

Had the exact same problem. Dry mainshaft splines. Once these were regreased problem went away.

Pics of how to do it, and where it´s located..?

PM'd some of the OG's on this thread to see if they chime in.

Mr.Woolery

It might be compound issue...the splines need to be regreased AND there's air in the clutch hydraulic system. Both would cause "laziness" in disengagement--splines due to increased friction, clutch hydraulics due to air compression.

I have the hard to get out of gear problem also. Most notable coming to a stop in second. Well bled clutch. Have a hard time believing lubed splines are the problem but nothing else has helped. Always a little mystery.

I had the same issue. Rusty splines were the cause. Ended up replacing the clutch while we were at it.
