I have a 95 GT celica. I have been having a hard time getting the car into second gear when I downshift. It gets stuck and I have to downshift into second and I have to "force it" it also grinds sometimes when I downshift into 4th. The car has 186k on it. I was thinking about changing the tranny fluid does anyone have any recommendations on the best type of tranny fluid?

yeah, i've never personally had this problem but my friends hyundai accent, 5 speed had this problem. every time he downshifted into second gear it would grind.

one day it wouldn't move at all and we thought his clutch went but we knew it wouldn't just stop driving all of a sudden after driving perfect... ended up being his slave cylinder and he was slowly losing all of his fluid.

after we fixed it and filled it back up and bled everything he was good to go, with no more grinding.
