tranny problems

Looks like its my lucky day cause its seems like the transmissions acting up now. Its making a weird noise when I let in the clutch and its still in gear esp 1st and 2nd and making a bit more noise then usual. Im thinking its due to a low level of fluid and will have it changed out by tomorrow with Redline MT-90. What do you guys think?

I’m not sure what you’re saying. Is “let in” mean engaged or disengaged? Anyway, changing the fluid is the best first thing to do.

If your foot is off the clutch and it's still making that grinding noise, get ready for a new tranny. I went through three tranny's. The last one went like yours is going to do. It made this wierd grinding noise, you could let the car sit in 1st gear and it would shut off. 4th was my only gear left. I later dropped the tranny, and ohh gears were just fallen all over the place ( once I opened the trans). It happens. If it's a N/A, those tranny's are the worst ever made. I hated those ******* tranny's.
