Alright so I have a pretty crazy problem that I or anyone else I try to explain it to can't figure out, now before I go on I already plan on getting a used trans, and replacing the clutch, flywheel, etc. I'm trying to narrow it down before i pull the trans.
So whenever I start driving and the motors not up to operating temp i can shift/go into reverse and it's fairly smooth, now after about 15- 20 minutes of driving the shifting begins to get very notchy, and gets worse as I drive to the point where it almost takes 2 hands to put it in first. But it gets worse...when I put it in reverse after that amount of driving I have to use 2 hands, and the drivetrain clunks as if the rear end is going to fall out (I understand forcing it does damage to the clutch and transmission components alike). Also when I'm at a light I notice with the clutch pushed in and in first gear the car lurches foward slowly as if the clutch isnt fully disengaged. It also rattles excessively when coming off of 1st. But keep in mind it does none of this when everything's cold.
This is a 97 mustang gt, the only drivetrain mods I have are 4.10 gears, alum driveshaft, and the previous owner replaced the clutch with a ram stage 1, and didn't replace the throw out, and assuming the flywheel wasn't replaced either.
I have a few ideas of what it might be but it seems nobody has experienced this before. Any input you guys have is highly appreciated this has been irritating me for awhile
