Default quick transmission question..

So ive changed my trans fluid to oem spec motor oil after i removed an axle and it leaked out all fluid out.. Ive been told by someone that im suppose to use 10-50 oil for the tranny. Could i mess up the tranny if i do this? It sometimes is hard to enter in gear(all gears). Also could this be of to thin oil? or maybe adjustment of shift linkage?

One last question... can i adjust the clutch pedal to raise up a little more, mine is kinda low and it has a stage 3 clutch. my crx is a 90 si with D15b from japan so its a obd1 now. All i want is the gears to go in smoother, if i have to get it rebuilt i dont mine just want to cut off the cheaper options first hahah thanks ahead of time!

thanks for the input im sure im using 10-30. any reason why it would be hard to go into gears when car is on? besides maybe the synchros going out?

Okay after satyn home tonight i have saved even more CASH!!!!!!
I was bored and after 3rd 40 and on my 4th i was online researching bs and one good thing...
I decided to adjust me clutch cable not giving a **** if i tore it, i tighten my cable and my hard gear entering was GONE! i was already ready to buy one on monday but my cable is good but the big plus is that my tranny is still good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man im sooooo happpy its f'n insane right now. I guess a stage 3 clutch maxs out your cable, i didnt know and my first time with a cable tranny without changing out the cable. People learn from this... i sure know i did! adjust and be ready to replace at worst, the best thing is to be ready to replace! hahahaha
