Trouble downshifting to 1st

The issue is that there wasn't a problem before the fluid change- now there is.

I had the same problem with royal purple. Went back to factory gear oil in the tranny and diff and also ester in the motor and the grinding went away.

dont know if thats exactly the issue or not, but either way ive had this problem in the past every so often even before i switched to redline. like i said its not something that is bothering me too much or going to ruin the tranny or anything i was just curious about this since its been more common lately. i was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem with higher milage, but some people want to pretty much say i dont know how to drive so whatever. im stationed in ms right now so it doesnt get too cold maybe like 35 at the lowest. so im not sure

If you've been having it in the past, I sincerely doubt it's fluid related. Are these people claiming you don't know how to drive on the forum (in which case just ignore them) or riding with you in real life (they may have a point and you may be wearing your clutch out prematurely because of it). At 60K miles you shouldn't be looking to replace anything with your clutch unless it's maybe the OEM CSC.
