My 08 Scion Tc is shifting funny. I noticed yesterday that the clutch felt very stiff as opposed to normal. I didn’t think anything of it because it was a colder day then we had been having. Today when i went to pull out of the driveway, I couldn’t get the car out of 1st gear. I had to turn off the car, pump the clutch about 30 times and then I could get it out of first. Ok, I thought maybe the gears where just stuck because the car may have rolled back a smidgen.. EVEN though I use the ebreak. Anyway, I am driving down the road, and go to put it into second, wont budge. I am now in neutral and can put it into any gear. After pulling with more force then I would have liked, it kinda "poped" into 2nd. After that the problem seamed to go away, except for the stiff clutch. Today when I went to leave school, same deal. Couldn’t pull it out of first to go into reverse, and it was hard shift for the next few hundred yards. The car has 8,600 miles on it. It has had 3!!!! Oil changes, and currently is running Amsoil. The car is not beat up on, and I have drove my other Toyota "93 corolla" into the ground.. over 200,000 and only 2 clutches. I cant imagine this on dyeing after only 8 or 9 thousand. Does anyone have any idea?
