So I just picked up 831 here in Sacramento for $450 from a 50 year old lady. Car is all stock and I was told it had a bad transmission. So I started to troubleshoot it somewhat. Sometimes I can start up the car and shift it into all the gears just a little notchy, and sometimes I start it up and it wont go into any gear at all. When I push the clutch pedal in I can hear a slight grinding noise off and on. And sometimes the car actually will start engaging and moving by itself a little bit while in gear when the clutch pedal is fully pressed down. I have started it up drove it a few feet in 1st and then reverse for a min or less with no issues. Then have started it up immediately following and it wont go into gear at all. I tryed adjusting the clutch pedal rod 1 full turn towards the Master cylinder and didn't change anything (didn't know how much to adjust..) Any chance this might just be a master cylinder / slave cylinder issue rather than the transmission/cltuch being bad? I am still in the learning process just wondering what should be my path of things to try before pulling the transmission out replacing and having the same problem. thanks
