Hey everyone,

It also is grindin in reverse almost everytime i put it in. I'm tryin to avoid goin to the shop and gett screwed on princin for them to tell me it's nothin when i know it is. If you have any knowledge what so ever please help me out. Thanks!!!

If you're at a stoplight and you need to take off but the car just doesn't want to go into 1st here is what you can do. If it won't go into 1st gear don't shove it in to gear because you could really mess things up. When it doesn't go in just hold the shifter right there and don't move it back at all,just release the clutch a little and it will slide right in. Same thing goes for reverse as well. It works for me everytime. Reverse will still grind going in sometimes but it won't be as bad.
