      Well, I decided that there would be no harm in bypassing the compressor. I just bought the belt for the non AC model and it is a night and day difference driving the car. No vibration at all! It seems to be more quiet, but that smooth ride is so nice. Beats getting that compressor fixed any day. 24 dollars vs like 200 or more.

        Well I got the fluid changed, but the issue is still there. Most likely the synchro. Oh well, I will drive it until it dies and replace or rebuild the transmission when the time comes. Thank you guys for all the help.

            not quite the answer I was looking for, but thanks for the help. I am looking to bypass the compressor all together. I don’t want to get it fixed… noticed the price lol. I want to make sure if I get the smaller belt things would still function as they should.

                Here is a video showing the symptoms of third gear while the car is not moving. clutch pedal to the floor and the car has been driven for a while.

                    When I first start driving, it goes into gear just fine. After a few miles, it grinds if I don’t take my time putting it into gear. When I let of the clutch it pops out sometimes too. Yes, only third.

                        Well the hydrologic system seems to be leak free. I noticed that when it is cold outside and when I first start driving, it shifts into all gears just fine. After driving a few miles and it warms up, it hates third. Possibly the gear oil too thin? I have no idea how gear oil works. I know in the video Eric posted said how his differential fluid is special because it changes viscosity. Does gear oil do the same?

                            Thanks, the first video helped a lot. I Will be looking for any leaks tomorrow. If I don’t find any, I have a feeling it is the synchro for third gear. If that’s the case, I will drive the car until the transmission dies and get one from a yard, or rebuild it. Thanks again for the help.

                                I mentioned it could have been the high oil pressure sensor. High as in high. RPM… Well, glad your oil light disappeared. Thanks for the update.
