Clutch/transmission issue

Hello,

I have a 1985 RX-7 base model I believe.

Have had it several months and have had to make a number of fixes, rebuilt the differential, replaced rear brakes, bearings etc.

I have been driving it fairly short distances and everything seemed to be working fine.

Yesterday I drove it on the freeway for perhaps 20 minutes before getting into stop and go traffic. Ordinarily, up to this point gear changes were smooth and effortless. When I got into traffic, gear changes up and down became increasingly difficult as if the clutch was not completely disengaging.

The master and slave were replaced by the PO and the hose between the hard line and slave looks new.

I was thinking that maybe when the motor gets hot the hose was expanding and not allowing the clutch to fully disengage?

Could it be something else?

Thanks,

Craig

Might want to seperate the tranny from the motor and make sure your clutch assembly is placed on properly. Put some lock tight on those bolts.
