I was just wondering if cold weather here in MN was causing these problems...

First of all, it was -13* today...

When I started the car, there was a "buzzing" noise

And my 1-2 shift, and 2-3 shift kind of had a grinding in it, but more like I could feel the gear engaging, and the stick kind of stopped, but then went into gear.

The problem goes away after the car warms up, so I guess what I am really asking is why it does this..

Thanks!!!

im in WI and that kind of happens to me if you dont let the car warm up first up first. i think its just the weather...

it was 18 today, when i started my car it was normal when i reved it up a bit i heard a little low squeeling noise, after it warms up, its fine...ever experience that?

yea, once the fluid in the tranny warms up, it shifts smoother. also, the squealing noise, it's the belts probably, pretty commmon in cold weather.

Im glad its 53 here hahah shouldn't it be like 70-80 tho

ok, that makes me feel a lot better, b/c every who says that there tranny grinds on the 2-3 shift has to replace synchros and ****, which is something i would rather not do.

Thanks!!

BTW, I think the sound is comng from my clutch/flywheel, not the belts. IT isnt sqweaking, but it is more of a buzzing sound.
