ekulrenlig Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 So, I changed my transmission fluid about two weeks ago, and since then shifting into second gear grinds. It seems to only do it for a while after startup. When I try to shift into second it grinds and feels like I didn't push in the clutch in all the way or something. Why would a fluid change cause this?
ekulrenlig Posted January 10, 2007 Author Posted January 10, 2007 About a gallon of diesel fuel. No, umm, Coastal 80W 90 gear oil--around 3.75 quarts.
Eagle Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 That's the right stuff, but in colder weather with conventional gear oil the second gear synchros are balky. Same is true on the BA10/5 and the AX-15. Synthetic gear oil is supposed to help. Personally, I toss in some Mr. Moly molybdenum disulphide additive and it seems to slick things up fairly nicely.
ekulrenlig Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 Yeah it has been cooler lately. Thanks!
