A little worried...Need some info
Hey guys, I need some info.
I just started to realize that when i shift from 1st to 2nd, it is kind of hard. Not hard where i really have to pull down, but hard enough.
Then just tonight i was screwing around and when i hitand shifted from 1st to 2nd, I heard a winding/grinding noise and i felt it shaking in my shifter. 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 did not have any problem, it is only when shifting from 1 to 2. I drove around a little more becuase now i was concerned. Everytime i hit it hard the same thing happened.I even made sure that i put my clutch to the floor.
When i would just casually shift like daytime driving, it was normal and that did not happen.
Can anyone tell me what this is and why it is doing that? I am a little worried. Thanks for all the help.

If you're not sure how to service a tranny, you shouldn't. Not unless you have an experieced person watching and guiding you. The internals of a tranny aren't something for an amatuer to mess with.

It's a common problem with 3650s to grind on the 1 - 2 while cold and it gets worse commensurate with hard use. I had the same prob with my 02 GT. It reqired a bit of effort to shfit and everytime I did I felt the grind. I changed the fluid to Royal Purple and it got much better, but didn't eliminate it. 3,000 miles later I wrecked the car so I dunno howit holds up in the long run. Start there before jumping to conclusions.....

RE: A little worried...Need some info
I thought maybe it was just me, but the same damn thing again today. When driving normal not a problem what so ever, but then when i lay into it and slam it from 1st to 2nd the grinding and vibrating were still there.
Poisnd-You mentioned that the same exact thing happened to you. Did you buy the new trans fluid and take it somewher to be changed or do people carry that and you just took it there. Do you know where to buy it? And how much I am looking at to do this?

RE: A little worried...Need some info
Can anyone please explain this a little more to me. It is still doing it, only when slamming gears. I want to get this taken care of ASAP before anythng else goes wrong. Thanks!

RE: A little worried...Need some info
First of all... QUIT SLAMMING THE GEARS! If your syncrhos are going out then slamming the gears will just wear it out quicker.
Second, take the car to the shop and let them check it out, if they are good tranny mechanics they can probably tell you what the problem is by driving it.
