Ok when my car isnt warmed up it sometimes won't go into firt gear when im at a light..i try to put it into gear and i hear a whining/grinding sound.then when the car is warm it is fine....what isgoing on guys????

 

Come on guys youve been able to answer all my other questions...

 

Are you using auto tranny fluid in this T-5? You should be.

Try changing the fluid, maybe it's thickened up from being old and dirty. Other than that, you might have some badly worn synchros....

 

Thanks,why should i use auto tranny fluid??o and why would it only do this when the car is cold??O and how much do syncros cost??

 

The T5 is meant to use ATF in it. Its what GM puts in them.

Id let your car warm up for a min or two before you take off. If ya got thick [butt] 80-90 it needs a min to get the thick honey moving and it won't want to shift or go in gear as easy warm.

Just hold the rpms around 2000+ for a min n netural. that will get the goo moving.

 

Well istead of getting the goo moving, wouldn't just replacing the fluid be a simpler solution???

 

You use auto tranny fluid because that's what GM says to use in the WC T-5 trannies. Have you put in something else?

 

next time it gives you a hard time going into first, try pumping your clutch a couple of times, then try it. My dad's 91 t/a sometimes has that problem, and this method seems to take care of it.

 

Well yea, but unless your out side right now changing it, I bet your gonna drive it a few more times before you get it changed.
