Hello, I've got a 1990 964, I need urgent advice since I'm in the middle of a road trip. Any help greatly appreciated!
I believe the problem got worse gradually, in recent months it was sort of tricky to engage first gear when stopped. I *think* pressing on the clutch a bit more solved the problem. I've been planning a transmission oil change for a while so I was ignoring he problem until that's done.
Today, after some driving in traffic, the situation got so bad that if the car is stopped and the engine running I can't shift into any gear. Turning the engine off lets me shift fine. During driving, shifting is tricky, and requires good RPM matching on the way up or down.
Driving while in gear is as good as ever, no noises, no nothing.
The most important question: could this be causing further damage to the car? Like I said, I'm in the middle of a road trip, probably 1000 more miles to get home, and while I *can* tolerate the inconvenience, I don't want to cause further damage.
Secondly, what could be causing this? Clutch not disengaging fully? Synchros not working well?
Thanks a lot for any information!
