Problem in 1st gear Options

[captb]

Hey guys, hope you can help me with my problem.

The car is having trouble getting into first gear when the car is moving even at slow speeds like 5mph and below. It shifts fine when I'm at a stop though. If I force it into first gear it sounds like I'm grinding the gear. all other gears are fine at all speeds, just 1st gear that is having the problem. This problem started immediately after i changed the trans fluid (75w90 full synthetic). I put 3 liters which I think should be enough.

I'm wondering if its the clutch not disengaging fully, the gear is worn out or the shifter cable is somehow loose or something. anyone have experience with something like this that can enlighten me? help is appreciated.

Help is appreciated.

interesting. do either of you use synthetic trans fluid. wondering if thats the culprit?

I thought that's just natural. Most of the cars I've driven allows shifting to 1st gear at full stop or almost full stop.

i guess its not a huge deal. but usually when i come to a stop thats about ready to turn green i put it in first gear in preparation, now i have to come to a complete stop regardless whether its red or not.

I use syncromesh.

Maybe not a full stop, I can get in 1st below 15, anything more really makes the car buck like crazy unless your are super slow with the clutch...I usally just opt for second..
