I've owned my '05 RL for about eight months now and its always grinded going into first gear. I put a ZZP stage 3 on at 45k, I've got 55k now.
If I'm at a dead stop and press the clutch in and shift into first it will grind. If I push the clutch in and wait a few seconds it will go in fine. If I shift into second, I can shift into first fine.
If I'm moving (maybe 5mph) and try down shifting into first the car will grind. If I shift into second and quickly shift into first while moving slowly it will go in with only a little grind, but if I'm not quick enough it will grind.
I guess if its worn syncros I will just deal with it like I've been. Would a fluid change help? What fluid is best in a NY climate through summers and winters? Thanks
