Got a slight problem. My transfer between gears is becoming increasingly rough. Sometimes i even have to put it in reverse jus for 1st gear to open up..or 1st for reverse to open. When shifiingdown the line, the stick doesn't slip into gear like it use to...i have to almost jam it intogear...I'm not sure if something in the transmission is wearing out or if a fluid is low. I got a 2000 manual and i'm pretty versed on everything about my car except the transmission.Any help is appreciated.

 

So no one knows anything useful?

 

It's the holidays, might be a little more active around here after the thanksgiving thing blows over

 

how many miles do you have on the car? When was the last time you have the trans looked over? Do you have a stock shifter or do you have a short shifter?

syncros

 

Is your car parked outside? The cold weather can cause rough shifting, especially in the morning when the car's cold.

Try changing your tranny fluid before looking at syncros. That may correct the problem. If it doesn't, then my guess would be syncros, also.

 

May be a dumb question but how do i change the trans fluid for a standard transmission?

 

I got 124,400 wit a short shifter. Never had the trans looked over..I do all the wrk to my car myself...

There should be a drain plug on the bottom. Take that out. I'm not sure if there's a fill plug on it or not. If not, fill it through the dipstick tube.
