Just over four weeks without my car but now that it's back it feels amazing. With over 204K miles, my old clutches looked brand new. Hindsight is 20/20 but I probably could've just replaced the one part in my transmission that failed instead of getting a new one but now I've got one with less miles. But also that part was backordered which would've delayed getting the car back even more. All new seals, gaskets, filters and pumps, along with a new clutch for the new (used) transmission. Starting from a stop, is so smooth now. What I thought was the clutches going, and the reason for the hesitation, must have been from the failing oil pump. And coming to a stop now, I can put it into 1st gear without having to wait a second after coming to a complete stop. Gear shifts are so smooth. Upshifts, I can't even feel them under normal load. I haven't pushed the car yet since I'm still breaking in the clutches but I can't wait to see what downshifts under hard acceleration feel like. I am still getting just a tiny hint of a hesitation when coming to a stop as if the clutch is getting dropped instead of a smooth release but nothing like the jerk that I would sometimes get. Hopefully this goes away during the adaptation process.
