try adjusting the peddle up so its a little closer to the brake peddle level. try and get just a touch of play

 

how do i adjust the peddle?

 

there should be a stopper above the peddle, a bolt with a stop nut on it. peddle should go up against it.

 

i adjusted it and no luck... I hope i do not need a tranny rebuild. all the gears are hard to get into now.. so i am thinking maybe my fork is still the problem? i will probably end up taking it to a shop and see what they think.

 

You have to look at it like this. For the most part you trans and clutch worked before there was a problem, it SHOULD work again. You have air in you system and that's why it's hard to get into reverse and other gears. The last time I worked on a 4th gen I had to bench bleed it because it doesn't have a reservoir its a closed system(correct me if I'm wrong) <--Its been a while.
To adjust the peddle there is a 13mm nut on the master cylinder under the dash,its going to be on the rod where it connects to the clutch peddle, you spin the rod which move the peddle up or down to where the car starts to pull about 2in off the floor.I'm pretty sure if you buy the system from the stealership it should come al together and you just install it


That should get you going

 

LT1 cars have a clutch reservoir

 

may have air stuck in it, pump the peddle a few hundred times... well alot anyways. see if you can get the air to come lose.

 

ok i will try that.. thanks crabby

 

well i tried adjusting the pedal again but no luck, I pumped it about 150 times check fluid level the pedal feels good.With the car off i can get into 1-4 gear and 6th gear. But 5th and reverse are still very hard to get into. Im frustrated at this point i dont know what could be causing this.

 

I think i might need a transmission fluid change. I havent changed it since i got the car(2 years ago) When i was taking out the tranny most of the fluid drained out and i put about 3 1/2 quarts back in. Could the tranny just need a fluid change? Since some gears are hard to get into?
