just wondering if this is probably a forecoming transmission problem or just maybe the tcar is out of transmission fliud? its grinds but doestn seem to affect performance, yet its leaking fliud(not sure if its oil or transmission fluid(seeing how i dont know what transmission fliud looks like yet,) going to check the dipstick on the transmission once i can find it (daylight)

but right now what does that sound like? it makes a huge grinding noise in low gears(first/reverse) and shows up again when im running maybe 2k rpm in 4th. thanks!!!!!!

sorry for typos.

OMGGGGGGgg ...ok i went took it to autozone drained it and refilled through the shifting boot hole......... then started it up.. and the transmission was like frozen, tried to mess with it, warm it up etc. nothing

so i put it in first and start trying to make it home, make it to third REALLY rougb and im like noticing that there is no response from the clutch. from then on NO response from the clutch at all and it was making this like rattling noise on the way home( i just rode it in 5th barely.........

so whats going on? it was just grinding alone before i changed the fluid but after it got soo much worse and this new clutch problem? the guy who i got it from (rick as you all probably know) replaced it with a stage 4 clutchmaster puck clutch so......

wtf is going on !? and whta am ilooking at? did the transmission lock or the clutch get stripped bare or what? thxn ....cant believe this...

1) what trans fluid are you using?2) make sure your clutch hydraulic system is properly bledlet me know and i'll try to help you. also, you NEED to find out whether your transmission is leaking fluid. it's crucial. and finally, any funny noises? explain the noise and when the car makes it.
