clunky shifting
Hey, Im driving an 85 GSL. The car shifts smoothly sometimes..but alot of times it is very clunky feeling. Recently, when I engage or disengage the clutch, i can here a small thunk. I also changed out the tranny oil the other day with some redline, when I pulled the bottom plug off, it had a bunch of stuff that looked like metal scrappings on the top...Am I looking at rebuilding the tranny? new clutch? both?
Thanks in advance

Metal stuff is a very bad sign, syncros could be worn and that's offering inconsistant shifting if some of the teeth are broken. Rebuilding could get costly, look for a good used one instead. I have 160,000 km, use synthetic oil and shift like butter. I remember going through the rebuild thing with a munci behind a 396 in a chevelle, ended up just replacing the whole damn thing in the long run.
