ive noticed that wen i drive the car off in the morning when shifting into second the gear is kind of like frozen.... I know its supposedly not recommendable to let your car run for 3-4 mnutes so i dont i drive it off after 30 seconds. But when i switch from 1st to 2nd my gear feels kinda rough, every other one is fine any one got usggestions

 

i seem to have the same problem with my 200 1.8....its wierd..cuz it was doing it in the warm weather too...the shift from 1st to 2nd..kinda goes "cuh chunk" and gets almost stuck in the neutral position.....

 

yeah mines is wen its cold im thinking of draining the transmission fluid and then replacing it, you think its sumthen i can do myself, my friend does it in his trans am im about to ask him for help, or should i take it to proffesionals?

 

Yeah it's something you can do yourself. There is no fill tube in the engine bay for the tranny fluid though. I just said screw it and took it to a mechanic. He flushed it through the transmission cooler lines.

 

i only have trouble with high rpm downshifts from 3rd to 2nd or 4th to 2nd.

 

u think ts anythin wrong wit the tranny?

 

who me? or you? with my its the synchros with you it could be that your shifter need oiling. get some litium grease and apply it to the top of the white "ball" this should loosen it.

 

alright thanks

 

that will only temporarily make the symptomes go away. call up a tranny shop (any shop all trannies work the same way) and ask them what this could be.

 

alright thanks once again, how much would it be for a new tranny?
