5-speed grind when cold
I absolutely love my 5-speed CL, but this has been killing me latley.
Since it’s been a lot colder than usual here in NC, I’ve noticed a new problem. My trans will "grind" when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear while the car is cold. I originally thought it was my clutch cylinders going bad, so I replace both the master and slave about a month ago. But the problem still persists, once the car reaches operating temperature; it shifts from 1st to 2nd fine.
Any Suggestions?
