Title: GT won't go into gear when cold
Post by: sergiocarnevale on June 03, 2014, 06:52:14 PM
Just added a 2005 GT 3.2 V6 6spd to the collection and discovered it won't go into gear when cold...fluid levels look OK.  Would appreciate any thoughts before I rush out a but a new clutch! :)

I'd probably start by putting this post in the appropriate Tech section of the forum....

This is still all new to me. Where is the technical section of the forum?

Its in the 147-156-166-GT-GTV-Spyder section,
Get some new Synthetic gear box oil, and take car for big drive and get oil hot and drain it out, put in fresh fluid and see how it goes, sometimes the oil gets water in it and it won't lubricate when cold, and or mineral oil has been put in and its not thin enough to work when cold or the oil is too thick for the cold weather, Colin.

Perfect! That sounds like great advice. I will try that. Thanks so much!
