    1st & 2nd gear shifting issues

    Just noticing a issue on my car as it is gettign cold. When its cold out I have issues getting my shifter into 1st & 2nd once the car warms up it shifts great. I dont think its clutch but any ideas what it could be? I was going to try changing the trans fluid as I have never done it (owned the car 4 months)

    mine does this sometimes. old tranny fluid would be my guess. but idk for sure.

      Mine does this too, more when cold than warm, but I think it has done it warm as well. I have only had the car for about a month and only driven it about 1,000 miles. I think I will change the fluid soon and see if it helps. Any other tips?

        sychros going in 2nd. it's common. not much you can do besides a transmission overhaul, rev match, or get a new transmission.
