i have a 99 uk turbo, when the vehicle is cold it has trouble selecting first and second gears, but once the engine is warmed up properly it is fine? i am thinking perhaps replacing the oil. would this help?


cheers

 

Yes, use castrol syntrax driveline. At £12 a litre, it's not cheap, but nothing will help the shift more.

 

ok cheers mate, will do, do you know where i can get it from and what grade will i need? iv heard 75w90 ?

 

Syntrax is 75w90 and is perfect for scooby boxes. Try halfords or ebay.

 

been to my local halfords, been to one near my college aswell, they only stock halfrauds own brand which i aint going near since when iv bought oils before even the staff said their oils were **** . at least i know what im looking for now though

cheers for your help

 

Yes the oil change will help.

Try bleeding and replacing the clutch fluid too.

I managed to get a much better response when selecting gears with newer clutch fluids, and not even a little bit of judder.

Good Luck
