Difficulty shifting

IHateHacks · 10-28-2007, 12:05 PM

Hey BEFORE you swap out the fluid let me point this out, whenever you change manual trans fluid, escpecially if its old and has the stock or very old fluid in it, shifting will be VERY hard when the trans is cold and guess what, 2nd gear is the worst to use right after you change the fluid and you go to drive the car on a nice cold morning. It takes like 1000 miles for the tranny to get "used" to the new fluid. Thats why people sometimes say "if you never changed your trans fluid, don't because blah, blah, blah...." And its the same reason why you should change trans and gear oils on schedule since it was brand new. You should see how much metal comes off a brand new tranny in its first few years of life, thats why if you don't change it, it will be pulverized in the trans and turn the fluid a nice thick grey color.
