    hard to get into / grinding into 2nd gear when cold

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    When my car is cold it is hard to get into 2nd gear and a lot of the times it will grind.. Once my oil temps get to about 190 it can get into 2nd gear fine.

    Is there any transmission fluid i can buy to help this problem?

    I dont have the money to rebuild my transmission

    thanks

    Search, but to answer your question, changing your fluid to Motul or Amsoil would help. Ive seen posts about this. Look around.

    I use redline and when it's really cold my 3rd acts a little funny but when warm it's fine. Only acts up in the winter I suppose as I have no problems in the summer

    You mean Motul MOTYLGEAR 75W-90 or Redline MT-90? There is no such thing as Motul MT90
