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

So I tried that Pennzoil synchromesh oil in my tranny and to my surprise, the problem is gone. Thanks for the easy fix. I was always told that pennzoil is crap, at least their motor oil, but as for their synchromesh transmission fluid, it's a winner. I would recommend it to anyone.
