great! lol

 

Hey i understand u had a similar issue to what i have and 90%fixed it with a tranny flush? Heres my issue sometimes (rarely) doesn't want to go into 1st usually when sitting at a light, seems tight and resistant up shifting from 1st-2nd or downshifting from 3rd-2nd. Do you think a tranny flush will help me?? if not its probably a good place to start i guess.
Also my throwout bearing squeaks when i push in the clutch did u have a similar issue? i had Mitsu replace it but within 10 days same problem Thanks

 

hey rob, where you from?

anyways, anything with gears not engaging, or do but with some difficulty, i would just go for a flush...i also have synchro problems, that's another possibility aswell...I'll be rebuilding my transmission in the next month or so i'll address those issues then...

but again always go for a flush and replacement of fluid first, anything else you're going to be taking stuff apart...

At stop lights i sometimes encounter resistance going into 1st, but if i let the car roll a little bit, i just slide it in...like don't come to a complete stop, let it roll ever so slowly (i mean really slow) and let slide it in, i'm not sure myself if that's a synchro problem, or some kind of gear damage, but that's my work around...

not sure about the TOB...i have not experienced any problems with mine, other than a slight whine...

 

alright thanks man im in the processes of trying to find oil ATM but hopefully this weekend ill be able to do the change and see how things go. As for me im in the GTA/Toronto area, how bout you??

 

trenton, but i'm in barrie on weekdays...


i've seen a few white RA's on the 401 through toronto, and 400 through vaughan...maybe it was you

oh and GM synchro mesh is supposed to be pretty good...there's another one that everyone likes, can't remember the name

but the GM stuff you get it from a GM dealership

 

ha im in the barrie area quite frequently to lol. anyways so i did the tranny flush with amsoil 75w-90 gl-4 stuff and...nothing seems about the same still doesn't like going into 1st at a light or up shifting to 2nd is still iffy and downshifting just seems wrong to me lol. maybe i need to run the oil around a bit i only took it around the block but still dammit i dont wanna build my tranny

 

give it 3 days of driving it should improve

there is probaby still some physical wear within the tranny...that's life

i'm living with this as well, just grampy drive her for a few days and see how it goes...monitor fluid levels too..

 

I had this problem once, I picked my wife up from work and everything was fine, I went to get off the interstate and suddenly had to clutch pressure and it would not go in and out of gear without hard shifting and matching the syncros. long story short I had blown the clutch master cylinder. I would recommend keeping an eye on it, its only about $250 for a replacement one thats a little beefer, however when your car breaks on Dec 23 you get stuck with a $500 bill. just food for thought. other than that the only time i had a problem was occasionally going into reverse from a stop it never seems to want to go right away. i would say a good flush and bleed should fix your problem.

 

The flush did it for me....btw where in Trenton? I'm in Hamilton Trenton but don't see any ralliarts

 

trenton, ontario...

 

thanks guys i dont get insurance until mid April so when i do ill be driving around quite a bit more so hopefully an improve. if not next year im thinking ill pull the tranny and put in a new clutch another new TOB and then see what i can do opening the tranny and finding the issues
also im usually driving from anywhere barrie to oshawa so u probably have seen me

 

well, i saw a white RA southbound 400 last thursday around 6pm as i was heading back to barrie after buying my new rims...

 

O man.. Im worried about this.. Im experiencing something close to this.. But I have recently finished my 50k maintenance.. and it was done by the dealer.. Im not quite sure if they have done their job properly.. or its just my **** instincts? haha .. but my gear changes had been a little more stiff than before..

OFF TOPIC.. ROB were you selling your car? I swear i saw your car listed in kijj
maybe 5months ago..

 

when i got my fluid change done at the dealer, it still felt shytty for like a week...

 

i was driving between bayfeild and dunlop getting tranny oil lol but i didnt go out of barrie at all , also i had my throw out bearing replaced by mitsu oct 09 and within a week after that it was squeaking upon pressing the clutch so i dont really trust Markham mitsu anymore...
