i changed the tranny fluid in my brothers 93 the other day. its a 5 speed, the oil that came out was real thick and dark, not sure if it was every changed. so i put in what i use in my car, the pennzoil synchromesh. it drove brand new for about 5 or 6 days, now unless i let it warm up fully, the car will not go into gear or it grinds bad. is there some reason you shouldnt put synchromesh in cable tranny's or something? it doesnt make any sense to me, it shifted brand new for 5 or so days, now you have to be careful where you shift. it will either grind, be notchy as hell, or just wont go into gear. theres 84K on the car. any thoughts?

 

is there a leak? how much fluid did you put in on the refill? check your clutch fluid, a leaking master or slave cylinder will also give you these same problems.

 

no leak, and i filled it unitl it started to ooze out of the fil hole.

 

how many quarts did you use? was the vehicle level or close to it when you were filling the trans back up? check the clutch fluid level yet?

 

checkin the clutch fluid level tomorrow, but the car was fairly level, i got right around 2.25 qrts into the tranny. maybe a bit more but not much. im assumin this is normal becuase thats roughly what my car takes.

 

took the car out tonite, once i let it warm up to the point where it idles around 1200-1300 or so, it will shift fine. if i try to leave before that she dont go into gear.
