seen this vast times, for 50 years driving (or racing)
Reverse is a non syncro gear. (4th is easy one)
so is what we call the
Canary gear (coal miners joke)
and is the first to grind or BALK .!
the clutch is bad but wait
A#1 CAUSE IS BAD mc/SLAVE.
you look at the MC, for clutch pedal and see it dry.ops it or the slave or omg both leaked it out. and both are bad.
I always replace both and bleed it first/
never pull a tranny until proved the Slave works right. 1inch stroke.
now if SLAVE works what else sure, I've fixed all those too
even all new syncros put in, me. IN NO ORDER, we do it all in 1 job.
1: bad PP, pressure plate warped or cracked or both.
2 bad disk, warped or cracked,d down to rivets it slips.
3: bad TO , throw out bearing wrecked ,jammed or melted.
I will stop here, once al this is exposed other bad things pop to the the eye like bad TO lever, mounts etc...
some have this, takes looping to make sure it does not leak
no drip right side
no drip MC on both sides of fire wall , master cylinder.
