Hey everyone, well as the thread titale states i may or may not be having some transmission issues, specifically with 2nd gear. the exact issue i'm getting is that every once in a great while lately i push the clutch pedal all the way in and when i go to shift into second i get a loud screetching sound when i try to shift down into second like it doesnt want to shift down into second and keep in mind this is when only going around 20mph. this has so far only happened twice within the last few months, first time i didnt think anything of it and thought maybe i hadnt clutched all the way in, but i know for sure this second time i had the clutch all the way in. I was able to to shift down into second after giving the car a few seconds and slowed down to about 15mph, but i noticed afterwards for a little bit it was rough to shift into 2nd until i stopped and let the car cool down for a few minutes and if anyone is wondering what the oil temps were at my gauge was reading 220 at the time this happened and was around the same temperature the first time it happened also. can anybody shed some light on this for me or should i take it to the dealer and have them check it out?
