Hey guys, I changed the gear oil in the manual transaxle of my '94 GT, and it started to grind a little bit going into third gear. This only happened for a few minutes until the car was warmed up, then everything would be fine. Anyway, I thought the problem might be due to me using synthetic gear oil so I changed it back to conventional, but the same thing is still happening. Any ideas? I'm using the recommended SAE 75W 90. I would appreciate some help. Thanks

All you need is some pennzoil synchromesh oil. It is slicker than what is recommended and lets worn synchros work like new. I had the same problem in my celica and it totally disappeared. I have posted this before and it works. You might have to order it off the internet as it can be hard to find. So enjoy this easy fix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
