Case 1.

When the cars not on, I can shift freely without problems. I can also push the clutch in and same situation. When I start the car cold, I can shift untill about after it warms up. Once its warm, I set it in nutural, and try to go into any gear and it is harder than hell! I can't even force it in. Whats the problem? The tranny has fluid in it. I warmed it up, turned it off, and put some fluid into it until it poored out. Still happens. Any help?

Case 2.

My timing is off. When I put my timing belt on, i set the crank to TDC. set the cam gear to the correct position (up facing up and the side marks matching with the head), put the belt on, put the tensioner on, and bolted it down. When I set up the timing gun, I checked timing (#1 spark plug)and moved it all the way advanced and its on the 18 (farthest away, White) mark. I set the idle screw all the way in also and it idles at 1k. Before, the car ran fine, idled at 750ish and I had leway to move the timing past 18 lower it. Now I can't get passed 18 degrees. What is my problem? I'm going to check again tomarrow moring and see if the crank and cam gear are set at tdc.

Any solutions? These problems never happened before.

Thanks,
