2nd gear grinding

[firestarter69]

I checked the trany fluid bout a month ago and found out there was none. So I bought moible 1, 75-90 put it in, and now my 2nd gear grinds. Its getting bad. Any suggestions?

This is just a guess but as there was no trany fluid in there when you checked, maybe there are some metal shards have been ground off and are now living in your new transmition fluid, drain a little bit out and run a magnet through it, see if any metal peices show up. If they do, drain the old "new" fluid, flush the tany through with some cheap oil then put in some new "new" fluid. Try a different make of transmition fluid, you know how fussy cars can be at times. Try Silkolene 75w-90 I use it with no probs after changing from Mobil1.
Another possibility is you might have put in too much or not enough trany fluid.

easy way to tell is your syncros are fucked up or any gears have grided teeth is when u change your tranny fluid again look inside it for metal pieces, or run a magnet throuhgh it...if theres alot of metal pieces you have a problem
