i have had a couple tranny's that were fubar, and no fluid would prevent the 1st to 2nd grind, it was happening on 3 of my tranny's i believe... something's up with the syncros used in our transmissions... if it wasn't for having to have a press to pull our tranny's apart i most likely would have already torn down a tranny or two to investigate..anyone ever took em apart and found the culprit?
