First, check the master cylinder level, then bleed the system. If that does
not fix it, then you likely have a bad master and/or slave cylinder.
Don't drive the car until you do these, because in forcing it into first, you
are putting a lot of stress on the 1st/2nd shift fork, and even though it
seems to shift "smoothly" in the other gears, you are actually putting stress
on those shift forks. And an even more, you can be putting extra wear on the
dog teeth.

Subject: [6pack] Shifting gears
Long time on the list, and this is my first post.
I have a 76 TR6 that is experiencing shifting issues. It is almost like the
clutch is not fully engaging when I push the pedal. Once the car is moving,
the shifting is fine and it shifts from 2-3, 3-4 smoothly. The problem is
only
from starting from a dead stop. When I sit at a light with the clutch in, I
can feel the car moving slightly. It there a possibility the master cylinder
is low on fluid?
Thanks,
Hugh
