Okay guys, here's the deal. 7m n/a w58 5-speed. I've noticed that when shifting from first to second gear during normal passive driving that it almost feels like the teeth grind 2-3 knubs as you slip into 2nd. Clutch depressed, rpms under 3k, everything normal and it does it. I've noticed the problem is worse when the trans is cold and as the weather gets colder the shifts are harder/rougher until she warms up. 3rd only does this maybe once in a while, fourth and fifth never do.
Could this be old/low tranny oil? i tried to check it this summer but the plug was frozen and i didn't want to snap off a plug in my transmission if I had no reason to.
I also read that my syncro might be going out on second. this scares me.
any help would be appreciated...thanks.
