Transmission, weird problem

TehMonkay · 07-11-2008, 10:55 AM

Just bought another NA FC a few days ago, weird thing is, tranmission shifts fine when cold, but when it warms up, it wants to grind 2nd and 3rd is notchy as hell.

Isn't it usually the other way around? I havent had a chance to change the fluid at least not yet.

my VW was the other way around. You should check to see what weight oil is in it

Thats what I was thinking, lol.

Also, the whirring noise from the trans is a notch louder than the other FCs i've driven.

i think the oil weight is too light and heat is making it less viscous
