[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 902220, member: 277"] The Gen I never had the clutch soak issue like the Gen II. While it wouldn't hurt, I'd be willing to bet that it won't help. The OP has also already made a go at the clutch hydraulics without significant change. I've offered a simple check to see if the clutch is dragging, if it ain't dragging then the clutch is not the thing causing hard shifting. I'm thinking that it would be helpful to perform the normal maintenance of clean 'n lube the shift pivot and eliminate that simple and low/no cost potential issue. It would suck to really dig into the hydraulics for days only to find out that the root cause was a <1 hr cleaning task. Even though it may sound unlikely, a binding shift pivot acts [I]just[/I] like a clutch issue and the symptoms exactly match the OPs complaint. [/QUOTE]
