Message	My '93 300ZX is hard to get into first and reverse. The problem was intermittent but now is mostly all the time. I had it checked by the dealer (my local Z shop closed). They said that the hydraulics check out fine, but the car wants to role when out of gear and the rear wheels spin when on the lift when out of gear. Their solution was to change to synthetic transmission oil. That didn't help and was just wasted money. The clutch engages fine. This is a centerforce clutch with only 32k miles on it. Has anyone had this problem or have any ideas on what is wrong? Thanks!
