I had the same symptoms on both a Volvo and an early model B. Rebuilding the master cylinder did the trick in both cases. It; /html/mgs/1998-08/msg01298.html (8,854 bytes)
3. Re: Sticky First Gear (score: 1): Author: Robert Allen <boballen@sky.net>; Date: Mon, 24 Aug 1998 19:36:22 -0500; Sounds like a hydraulic problem to me.

5. Sticky First Gear (score: 1): Author: martens@auditor.sk.ca; Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1998 08:49:36 -0600; Isn't it pretty hard on the gearbox to be sitting with the clutch in at stops? I always pop into neutral at a stoplight to minimize pressure on the thrust washer and at the throwout bearing. Anybody; /html/mgs/1998-08/msg01356.html (7,586 bytes)

When I'm stopped, with the clutch in, the car seems fine. If I put it into neutral, it makes a groaning noise. I try to keep the clutch pressed in but woul; /html/mgs/1998-08/msg01405.html (7,502 bytes)

Or do I need to get it fixed before my transmission falls out? I would probably need to get it fixed, right? (I'm not much of a mechanic.)
