so i have a bit of a problem. when the car is off i can freely go into gear but once i turn the car on i have to fight with it till its in. my first thought was my shifter cuz its the 7th gen short shifter but it wasnt. so now im thinking that im low on tranny fluid. but where do i check it and put some new fluid in and what kind of fluid do you guys put in.

QUOTE(Kwanza26 @ Sep 20, 2006 - 8:04 AM) [snapback]481784[/snapback] turn off the car and shift without the clutch. You don't *need* the clutch to shift... if it doesn't shift... you got a bad tranny. If it does... it's the hydraulic system. If it is hard to get into gear or you can't get it in gear it could be low fluid or bad syncronizers. If the engine is off there isn't anything to syncronize so it will shift fine. Check your fluid the way that coomer said and then let us know. Also clean all around the bottom of the transmision and see if there is a leak. It could come from the engine side and look like oil if the input shaft seal is leaking. |
