Recently purchased a manual 2000 g20t with 100,000 miles. Not sure when the last time the transmission fluid was changed, if ever.
Sometimes when I first start it up, it's difficult to get it into reverse. Takes 30 seconds or so of playing with the shifter, allowing the car to warm up before I can get it into reverse.
Also, sometimes when shifting into second gear, I shift, but then feel a little notch. When I hit that notch, I can pull it a little harder and it will move about another inch to really get it into second. It's like a two-stage shift. I don't always feel that notch though. Sometimes it goes right in smoothly. Thoughts?
I'm on the original clutch too, but it's not very high - surprisingly.
I granny shift this thing and I assume the 37 year old woman who had it before me did as well.
Thanks!
