hey guys i search but could not find an answer. heres my problem, when i start my car up and drive it, my tranny would grind really bad. i would have to shift really slow to get it into gear, but after a couple of miles when the the tranny warms up, shifting becomes normal again with no grinds. what can cause this?

whens the last time you changed your fluid?

How's the tranny fluid? Old, bad, dirty...? I recommend 1qt Redline 75w90 and 1qt of lightweight shockproof oil.

this just started happening so at first i thought maybe i'm low on fluids, but i check and it's still level with the opening of the plug. i quess i'll change the fliuds and see if that's it. thanks guys

might replace your slave cyl as well. theyre dirt cheap and u could probably use a new one anyway.
