Ever since i let my friend borrow my 7, i have a hard down shifting from 3rd to 2nd or from 50mph to 2nd. I can not get my 2nd to engage and if i can it will grind.

 

synchro is going.....jus about all FC tranny's do that. Nothing too bad. Just get some redline MT90 and put it in your tranny. It will help a lot with the messed up synchros.

 

could please tell the procedure

 

1. buy redline tranny fluid
2. drain tranny fluid
3. fill up transmission with said redline fluid.......


i can go into further details if you didn't follow.

 

Sure, more detail. it still make not sense, should i change from the transmission fluid reservoir or from the tranny box?

 

reservior? What reservoir are you talking about? Just jack up the car get under. And there is a giant drain plug underneath the tranny. Except if it's a turbo the tranny is a lil different than my NA tranny. I think it has two fill plugs or drain plugs. I cant remember but it's something weird like that. Search for the FSM. You can download it in the faq.

 

wow I have this same problem




Hey it's okay, your not gay if you paid for it

(the last sentence was a joke)

 

And WHERE exactly is this "transmission fluid reservoir"....have you ever put tranny fluid in it before?

 

i think he's getting clutch master cylinder confused with this imaginary part.

the tranny is a self contained unit that has its own fill and drain plug. there's no resovoir in the engine bay, and the only thing that pumps fluid through the tranny is the movement of the tranny internals.

 

Wow another one of those guys, please sir sell your 7 (tranny reservoir) lol

Have you ever been under the hood or under the car before, and there is no fixing your tranny with fluid just slowing down the wear a little bit, the damage is done your buddy cant drive or did some joy riding, and yes the problem is you synchro for 2nd gear

 

Dude, dont hate. I'm just learning new stuff out. I'm not a freak that has not life, i work on my car a lot. And i may not know everything, that is why we have the forums. To help people with questions and stop been an ***.

And for the record i love my 7 and i will never sell it for another newer car.

 

The drain plug is on the bottom and the fill plug is on the side of the tranny. AND DON'T BUY A CHEAP VERT FILL THINGY because I did and I got fluid all over me because the stupid thingy kept leaking.

If you still don't understand what I am talking about then buy a shop manual from autozone or something.
