Hey maybe you guys can help me. I seem to be having some issues with my tranny. For some reason it gets stuck in 1st gear even with the clutch pedal slammed to the ground. Also if the car ir rolling at like 10-15mph and i try to put it into 2nd it wont go in unless i really froce it in there and the same goes for trying to get it out of 1st when it gets stuck. It was doing the samething before when i had the stage 4 cc clutch before that blew. I now have a stage 3 clutch with only 700 miles on it. I think it might be something with my tranny. I have the redline mt90 fluid in there and yes my mechanic did bleed the clutch after he installed the ss clutch line. I think it might be my slave cylinder gong bad. What do you guys think it could be?

how long have u had the redline in for? cause its the redline same thign happened to me, m ygears would get jammed and it was crunching and grinding nopises getting into gear, i thought it was my synchros but it was the sh*tyy redline i now have Eneos and its better and i know for a fact its not my tranny, theres a few people on here that it has happened to. it feels ok at first but then 500 miles + later it starts to jam up and shift horribly

but if u think its not then its ur synchros, but i know for a fact its the redline. change it out bro to eneos or even back to stock oil if u get it at the dealer.

wtf! i have the same problem, but the only difference is that sometimes i cant get it to go into first, so i hafta shift into second then 1st (from a dead stop)... and sometimes i hafta jam it into 3rd... !!!

so eneos is a possible fix for this ish??

I've had the redline in ever since i did my clutch the first time last year. I still have the same oil in there now.

I'm goin to try the eneos and see how that goes. Is there a special kind that our tranny uses?

Post back when you switch to Eneos and let us know if its still doing the same thing... If you look in the back of the owners manual it well tell you what kind of oil our transmission uses and how many qts...
