Clutch?

[1984 200x]

in 1st and 2nd no problems but in third i get the feeling that the clutch isn't out all the way and it just gets worse and worse in 4th and 5th. any thoughts, i'm open to all suggestions

Your clutch is slipping. It's time for new fiber plates and maybe new springs.

Had the same problem with my 83x. Only third gear though. Turned out my third gear in the tranny was chipped really bad causing slippage. Felt like a clutch problem at first, but it only did it in third. Changed the oil and found all kindsa shavins. Third gear shavins :(.

clutches slip in all gears when going bad.most likely you have worn gears and bushings in the tranny.
