Default Luanched Car Hard the other day, Now will not go in to gear

The other day I luanched my car real hard , afterwards the petal felt just alittle bit softer.It drove fine though.The next day I went for a drive and had a realy hard time getting it in gear.I was able to force it into 2nd and use 2nd and 3rd to get home.When the car is not running I can put it into every gear but reverse.When it is running it is very hard to put in to any gear and no reverse.I think it is either the slave cylinder, or the rs4 clutch that has 26k hard miles on it.I'm hoping that there isn't a problem with the trany.What do you think?

I was thinking the same thing- seems like people are eating Trannies like mad.

Yup- or missed 2nd or 3rd gear. I do feel for them though- Losing a trans really sucks...

Default Yea- probably sychro or 1st-2nd gear slider. Do try and adjust the linkage first...

if that doesn't do it you most likely need a trans. If you have to do that make sure you give Alex at STASIS a call. Their units are great, with hardened synchros, 4:1 torsen diff, etc. Plus they are good to work with.

If you need it call them soon because there is usually a bit of a waiting list. You are not the first and will not be the last.

Hope it all works out well for you.

Default Re: Bad slave cylinder after a hard launch? Now that's a good one. Guess no Waterfest this year eh?
