Tranny hard to shift in any gear

Make sure to re-lube the points you used WD40 on since it's not a lubricant.

Does the stiffness feel like the clutch isn't in all the way (any grinding) or is just difficult to move in general? Wonder if the cables are getting stuck in the sheathing (doubt it but it could be plausible).

From WD40's own website:

Myth: WD-40 Multi-Use Product is not really a lubricant.

Fact: the “W-D” in WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, WD-40 Multi-Use Product is a unique, special blend of lubricants. The product’s formulation also contains anti-corrosion agents and ingredients for penetration, water displacement and soil removal.

It's primarily a solvent, though a light lubricant. IMO it's too thin and isn't a long-term product for an automotive application, just as I wouldn't lube my bicycle chain with WD (I use a chain lube for that). It's best to follow with a purpose-specific oil or grease to ensure the part in question stays properly lubed (through various conditions) and doesn't dry out. Such as it is for an extensive multipurpose product.

thank all for the WD40 information.lol

but still I dont think it's my problem hehe.

The clutch seam fine. I dont have any grinding, its just very hard to shift.

If it was cable adjustment, it would not fit in gear, but would still be smooth?

could it be old oil making the synchro not properly working? or the sychro itself being too old?

later
