is my tranny dying?

[zoomzoom02]

At first it started with my 2nd gear being a little tough to get into, but now everytime i shift to 3rd at higher RPM's it grinds a little bit. Is my tranny dying? What should I do?

you guys suck...

Mine does that too... it grind 3rd every time if you try to shift reasonably quickly.. (yes, I'm a good driver) and occaisionally pops out of gear....

Sounds more like linkage to me than a transmission failure...

same problem here, got it fixed twice, the district rep is taking a look at my car on the 6th. before they will fix it the third time. also my third head unit.

it is your sychronisers(spell check) it takes about 2 days for them to fix it, but a while for them to get the parts.

Mine did the same s*** with the grinding 3rd and the tough 2nd gear. And now my car is stuck in 4th gear and I have no car after last night. WTF!?!?

Has anyone experienced grinding when downshifting from 5th to 4th. I know that my old 89 626 had a stop that would not let you go to R from anywhere other than neutral. It also grinds some times when shifting in R from a standstill. I can feather the clutch to get it to engage, but is this normal?

What i'm worried about is if they say i "abuse" my tranny

I started to get the same thing, but now it doesn't grind now that I changed to the Redline Superlightweight Shockproof Tranny fluid. I don't nail in the gear anymore either.
