Re: T5 acting up

I think I fixed it, I found that the two bolts that hold the clutch
linkage to the bellhousing were loose. Tightened them up and it is back
to just needing a little pressure to get in! Whooo Hoo got to love the
cheap fixes!

After going wheeling a month ago my transmission has started acting bad.
I have always had a little hard time getting into first gear, had to
push hard, but no grinding. Now it seems that most of the time I cannot
get it in 1st or 2nd gear with the motor running. If I put it in 3rd
and get it to roll a little then I can get in 1st. It does not grind,
it just feels like something is hitting. I have used ATF in the tranny
since I bought it last fall because that is what the previous owner had
in there, but I know some people(Mike) say to use gear lube.

Should I try gear lube instead?
Is there an easy way to inspect the internals with out taking the tranny
out, i.e can I see much by taking the top of the tranny?
Could it be clutch related? (but I think that would effect all gears)

What else should I check?
