...It's probably the synchros...

Bingo....

If you want your synchro to last longer don't rest your hand on the stick when it's in gear.

Have you been downshifting into first while towing stuff? Syncros sound bad.

Does it wear the clutch out when its in all the way at stop lights? How is it bad on the clutch to sit at a stop light in 1st with the clutch in? I do this all the time in traffic.

Nope. Not hard on the clutch at all. The only thing that is getting any wear at this point is the throw out bearing...and maybe your left leg.

yeah thats what i though, the pressure plate isnt engaged. I was confused because he said...



Ah got it, the springs. You mean the springs that disengage it or the springs that are in the plate itself. Im not quite sure what those 4 springs in the plate do though. vibration maybe.

The clutch disc has no springs. The pressure plate does. It takes MANY miles of use before a pressure plate wears out.
