OK.........i'm having a hell of a time putting my car into 1st and Rev...... i have to force it in to those gears....... and somtimes i have to slam it into them....and i mean slam it...........i've just replaced my slave cylinder and i changed my Trans fluid ( redline MTL ) and i did bleed the Clutch fluid when i replaced the Slace Cylinder........what could be my problem?? Synchro Maybe?? Need New Clutch?? I'm really needing HELP !!!

P.S. somtimes i dont have any problems with it.........but most of the time i do.

EX : like in the morning when i go to school......at startup it will be a real ***** to get into 1st or Rev and when i'm on my way home after school it will go into 1st or rev without any problems..........

One More EX :

When i leave it in 1st or Rev overnight ( so just in case my E-brake fales, my car wont go anywhere ) In the morning when I start my car up with my foot pressed down on the Clutch to remove it from 1st or Rev its hard to pull it out of gear to put it back into ( N )....WTH???

1st and rev are none syncro gears. It is not uncommon for them to be hard to put in those gears when cold. Havent heard of the getting out of gear problem thou. Try this next time you start it cold put it in any other gear immediatly before you attempt to put it into 1st or rev. This stops the revolution of the trans and allows you to drop it into gear smoothly. What kind of fluid are you running in your trans? you should not run GL5 as it is corrosive to the brass syncros. stick with GL4. synthetic is ok with your trans.
