hey all, here's the problem, everytime I drive my car in the morning and warm it up for a few seconds..i occasionally grind 3rd going from 2nd-3rd..and i was shifting at around 3k....so, when the car is fully warmed up, 3rd gear doesn't grind.....
i changed the tranny fluid like a month ago, and the next morning i noticed the grind, so it's been happening on and off......
i kind of think it's due to the valvoline gear oil, but not really sure, i did buy the oil from a toyota dealership though...it's never happened before when I still had the original oil before, i only have 28k miles
i know most of you are using synthetic gear oil, i was just wondering for those who just used regular gear oil, did you experience anything like this b4?
thanx
