Anudder actual car related question.....
I know I know... Well it's been really bugging me.
So like, many times, while stopped at a light or something.... as SOON as i'm shiftin into first.. the gears chomp.. Best I can describe it is a really quick grind before it goes in and yes, I do have the clutch pedal in all the way, but still.. It doesn't do it all the time. Just moar times then I care for it to.
. Fluids seem fine and It only happens in first gear, from a dead stop.
Any input?

lol...
Um, still on my original clutch. I'm at 51,2xxx right now.. This started happening at 30k tho. I know that may sound like a long time before I finally brought it up, but I didn't think much of it because it doesn't do it on a daily basis.. Just "at times". Plus I don't pound on the car much, if at all.

seems like really low miles for the clutch to be going out....
are you the original owner?
and its when your at a DEAD stop, not slightly rolling or anything?
when u say "at times" is your engine hot or still heating up?

Transmission Gear Oil
REPLACEMENT
1) Pull out the oil level gauge.
2) Lift-up the vehicle.
3) Remove the transmission under cover.
4) Drain the transmission gear oil completely.
CAUTION:
Directly after the vehicle has been running or the engine has been long idle running, the transmission gear oil is hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
NOTE:
* Tighten the transmission gear oil drain plug after draining transmission gear oil.
* Use anew gasket.
5) Lower the vehicle.
6) Pour gear oil into the gauge hole.
Recommended gear oil:
Use GL-5 or equivalent.
Gear oil capacity:
4.1 liters (4.3 US quarts, 3.6 Imp quarts)
7) Check the level of the transmission gear oil.
NOTE:
* When inserting the level gauge into transmission gear, align the protrusion on the side of the top part of the level gauge with the notch in the gauge hole.
* The gear oil level should be within the specified range marked on the level gauge.
While you are at it, re-bleed your clutch
If neither of these work...
