Anyone have any problems with a "toothy" second gear?

I just bought this 2003 GT convertible USED with 9800 miles....

The "toothiness" happens more so when cold.....when the car warms up it behaves a bit more normally....still a bit rough, but not as toothy.....


Anyone have any ideas of what could be the problem???
ANY info would be greatly appreciated.....

Thanks,
Jeff

sounds like you ragged it abit,,,need to take to dealer ,,warr, work ,,but look out they will rag it too,,harder than you do ,,, i know i worked at a dealer before i know what really happens when you leave your car,,they take it to lunch,, pick up girls walking on side of the rode,,etc..dont want to scare you anymore ,,i would suck it up and fix it myself,,,

LMAO!! RodMan knows, LOL
What the hell ya mean by toothy? Does that mean your grinding second gear?

hotrodman

i think toothy means loss some teeth..................lmao dude,,,,,,,,,

Waht I mean is that it grinds for about a few clicks (1/10th of a sec) when it goes into second.....and yes the clutch is all the way down.........

What can I do to fix it???

Because it's so new, take it to the dealer.

any ideas of what kind of driver was the prev owner, thats the problem of buying "pre-owned" cars, you shouldnt be having probs, that car is supposed to be new..

kstkrt

Yup...I totally agree.......

It seems if I take first gear to like 3,000 RPM then shift its fine.....

Its when I take it REAL easy is where there's problems....

Its kinda funny....almost as if it likes to be driven kinda rough.

WEll.........I took the car to the dealer.......They said noting ws wrong....I was amazed.
I guess cuz the car was nice and warmed up.

Pisses me off cuz I know something is wrong........
