Exclamation Trans Problem!

OK.........i'm having a hell of a time putting my car into 1st and Rev...... i have to force it in to those gears....... and somtimes i have to slam it into them....and i mean slam it...........i've just replaced my slave cylinder and i changed my Trans fluid ( redline MTL ) and i did bleed the Clutch fluid when i replaced the Slace Cylinder........what could be my problem?? Synchro Maybe?? Need New Clutch?? I'm really needing HELP !!!

P.S. somtimes i dont have any problems with it.........but most of the time i do.

EX : like in the morning when i go to school......at startup it will be a real ***** to get into 1st or Rev and when i'm on my way home after school it will go into 1st or rev without any problems..........

One More EX :

When i leave it in 1st or Rev overnight ( so just in case my E-brake fales, my car wont go anywhere ) In the morning when I start my car up with my foot pressed down on the Clutch to remove it from 1st or Rev its hard to pull it out of gear to put it back into ( N )....WTH???

how cold does it get where you live? i have experienced the same problem but only like at 4 am in the morning. from what ive read, our trannys like thick oil too. when the oil gets hot itll thicken up and be much smoother...

also, reverse is straight cut, so itll always be tricky to get it in gear. 1st has a lock out but dont know if thats part of your problem tho.

No synchro in 1st and reverse, just for future reference. That is a part of why it's hard too. When the gear oil isn't warmed up, it's not letting the gears move smoothly. Couple that with no synchros in those gears and it makes it that much harder to get them in and out until it warms up. I have the same problem.
