how far off the floor when ya let up on the pedal does the car start to move in 1st ? have you checked the clutch fluid ? do ya have excessive play in the pedal ?

no excessive play on pedal only when i dynoed it once the pedal just died an i had to pump it to get it up but thats months ago the reverse jus either goes in does nothing or grinds when i put it in so i have to like play with the clutch to get it in when it nicely grabs it but then it will pop out when i let out...just get two opinions clutch or rev synchro...

i have a 02 z06 with a similar problem. early in the morning my second gear will pop out if i am not paying attention, and my reverse sometimes. i believe my fluid is getting old or is already at that point. i really believe that is the problem, but do not have the time of the day to change it, maybe one day lol.
