manual gear box problem
Hi guys.I got 93 sc 300 with a manual 5 speed.I have a hard time puting it into and pulling out of gear when cold. I have tried changeing the gear oil but that didnt help. I put 70W-90 in it. Any got any ideas on what could be wrong with it. (possible bad syn.)

I've also become a freakin connoisseur of double clutching and heel-toe braking/engine braking.
I know it'd be easier to "just have it work," but I think it's just that the synchros are getting old (after 10 years, it happens) and the fluid is too cold for the synchros to catch.
If you have a hard time doing it when the car is still, well, then that's an entirely different problem. I would check/change the clutch fluid and if that doesn't fix it, then have a mechanic inspect the situation. Could be the master and slave cylinders.

Thanks for the reply. I think your right the synchros are just old.The car has a new clutch in it. But i never changed the clutch fluid. I also have a hard time going into first unless i come to almost a complete stop. I am a mechanic for bmw . I now some times there are tricks out there to fix problrms.
