Trouble shifting info 1st gear after recall

[OBJLU]

I got a portion of my recall done, I say a portion because they didn't install the sleeve.......but now I have a hard time shifting into 1st gear, it uses to shift smoothly and easily now I have to mash the clutch pedal as hard as I can and slam it into gear, almost feels like there is some sort of delay happening for things to line up. Any ideas?

Replaced clutch and flywheel assembly

I guess I'll be the one to state the obvious here, take is back to the dealership and have them fix it.

Yup. They didn't bleed the clutch right

I know, took me a few tries to get it right myself, and just had to do it again yesterday after a few thousand miles

it has to be an alignment issue of the assembly to the manual trans. As straight forward as this seems, it is usually the issue.

I know you have been on the other thread about the recall and having issues in general. I am about to just waste the money and get the centerforce installed. My pedal feels worse after the recall than before. There is no feedback at all.

I'm hoping it's a simple issue, I was supposed to take the kids camping this weekend, starting today and they have been waiting for weeks. this has been the worse experience I've ever had, I just bought RCV and cro moly axles so there is no $$$$ for a new clutch.

they probably didn't bleed the hydraulic fluid so if ur fluid level seems low u know where to start looking. It would seem they did more damage them good. This is the very same reason I havent taken mine in for any recalls

u might be lucky and simply pour in more fluid if u find it to be low. Sometimes it will burp the air out without any other special procedures. Again ... if its low....and depending on a few variables though.

I'm pretty sure I somehow got my shift cables out of alignment. Some days it shifts nicely and others I've got to push it hard into 3rd before I can hope to get it into 1st. Clutch is definitely well bled and releasing. It's that or my synchronizers are going out

I guess all of us manual trans guys best learn how to swap trans and clutches eh? ;-)
