I heard that if you are having a hard time shifting in first when coming to a stop that you should put brake fluid to fix it? Is this true, and where exaclty is the fluid for this located at?

 

well if you use a hydrolic clutch, it uses DOT 3 brake fluid. the resivior should be along the firewall on the drivers side of the car. it should say on top of the cap . have fun. poot!

 

how what that effect shifting into first, unless im missing somthing the syncro does all the work not the clutch brake fluid

 

yea cuz i have the same problem and my tranny is ready to go in the next 10k miles

 

i never have been able to shift into 1st when slowing down nor have i wanted to. only time i can is if im goin 5mph or less. very slow

 

the reason its hard to is because of our syncros, there not meant to be high performance, trans with triple cone syncros like the EVo fall into first at like 20 mph with easy, our syncros just cant do that

Same. If I'm coming to a stop, I'll leave it in second. If I have to take off again, I'll take off in second. My Y8 doesn't struggle or bog at all in this situation. I can only get into first if the car's stopped or rolling extremely slowly (i.e. a casual walking pace).

 

why do you need to drop back into first, unless your really into going through the sequence
