I left my car outside overnight last night because it's leaking a bit of oil because one of the drivesafts can't be put in all the way. Anyway every day before i go anywhere, i've been checking the tranny oil and i add mtf if i need to. This has been going on for the past 3 days.

Now when i start driving after the car is relatively warm the tranny grinds 2nd and 3rd gears, when the car is up to normal operating temp, the grinding stops completely.

no

 

No, weather it's 50F or 120F tranny always shifts the same. But if you have a problem like that u may be using the wrong lubricant.

Use better oil.

 

Gm Synchromesh friction

 

Isn't honda MTF, the best i can possibly use?

Yeah, mine shifts the same at 50* as it does any other time, but when it actually gets cold, like 5*, then it occasionally grinds a little bit, and is harder to get in gear, that stops when the car is warmed up though.

 

I use honda mtf

 

mine grinds just a bit before it warms up if it's below -20'ish F.....otherwise, it's doesnt

 

there was a write up a couple weeks ago GM snychromesh friction won... sorry im not a good speller hope thats right

 

yeah cause there is a diffrendt if it is cold or not !!
