Tranny Question!

[bwlknsn91]

Ever since I've owned the car (since April), when shifting into either 1st, 2nd, or reverse, it has been progressively harder to actually put the car into gear. I am not exactly sure how to explain it, but it just doesn't want to just "slip" into gear and can quite be difficult to do so at times. Not sure if I need to change the transmission fluid, LSD, or what. I know I post a lot of questions, but this is my first turbocharged car and am learning slowly but surely the in's and out's. Thanks!

change the fluid and see what happens

Do the transmission fluid first, if that doesn't do it, it's quite possible a worn pressure plate.

I have this same exact issue, but I changed my gearbox fluid with 3.9 quarts of synthetic 75w90 and nothing helped me. Only maybe 10000 miles on stage 1 clutch and pressure plate

Thanks guys! I will see how changing the transmission fluid effects it!

It's probably the motor mounts. They are bad throwing the shift rod out of alignment.
