A very simple problem.
My Bugeye has the original 948 but a rib-case transmission. The transmission shifts perfectly when it is cold, but when it gets hot, it tends to stick in first gear. Not always, but maybe 30% of the time. When it sticks, I can get it to shift, but it takes quite a tug.
I've found that if I wait a half second or so between pushing in the clutch and yanking it into second gear, it usually (but not always) moves without sticking. So, this is more of an annoyance than a serious problem. Still, I'd like to fix it.
I may have to pull the engine to deal with a clutch problem, so this might be a good time to do something about it. Can anyone suggest where to look? It seems like more than just a tight ball. I've mostly (but maybe not 100%) ruled out clutch dragging.
