hey guys me again,
i started noticeing that my tranny makes a grinding noise
it sorta sounds like when you forget to put that plastic liner back and you drive it makes a plastic asphalt grinding noise?
well it does it when i start the car and its cold and i drive off it only happends when its cold and in 1 and 2 gear only?
also when the car is cold it is xtreamly hard to put it in secound gear and or back into 1st
weird isnt it ?

 

bleed your clutch hydraulics. could be air in the lines.

 

is that a two person job and is there a how to some where i dont know about?

 

what year do you have?

 

might be time for a tranny flush.... change the fluid

 

its an 01
thing is that i also just switch the cclutch not even a month ago and i only used lucas oil didnt put nothing else you think thats wat it is? i was soppoed to mix it wiht trans fluid

 

ATF+4

 

the lubricant should be ATF+4 yanno, all those High Performance products sold are serious overkill for a stock neon.

 

and they can be way too thick when cold and way too thin when hot... you gotta use the mopar ATF+4 trans fluid.....

 

****
so i gatta drain the trans? again how do i fill it again then?
and i have a manual so why would i atf+4? when the car warms up i shift reall nice except some times i mis third donno why its like the clutch didnt disengage right like if i didnt shift right for example like if i put the clutch down and let go before i put it in gear it will make that grinding sound.
i just dont wanna break somethign cause right now im in a huge bind and my car is the only way to get money as i am delivering pizza
