      Could try new tranny fluid if you haven't changed it recently. Sometimes water condenses in there, and we know what water looks like at -24F.

          I was thinking about that but money is a little tight right now. It would go into every gear except reverse. I think I am going to try and talk my roomies into pushing my car so I can warm up the tranny a little then park it facing out for next time.

          How well does the Syncromesh work? Weshole could you guys put that in for me at Tires Plus?

            syncromesh is just fluid...you flush the system and put in syncromesh...just check the master cylinder see how much fluid is in it...

              It's hard for me to do anything car wise becuase I am not at home and have no real access to a garage.

                well to check the fluid just check the cylinder master or slave...if its low add some dot 3 or 4 fluid......only takes a couple of minutes then pump the clutch to get the air out...maybe that will work

                    Well I went out and tried it again a little later and it went right in but I will try that next time.

                      i have that same problem too. if you can get it so its at least a little bit in.. then hold it and try to back up.. it should pop right in as soon as you start to move.

                        I think I am going to try some Pennzoil Syncromesh. I have read on dsmtuners that it works well and is about $5 cheaper per bottle than the GM stuff even though it is the same stuff.

                          can you get it in reverse when the car is off?

                          At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                                You sure its the same stuff? Your tranny is worth a good deal more then $15, I dunno...

                                    I just tried and reverse is a little reluctant to go in but it does when it is off.

                                    I guess it has the same part # as the GM stuff but is under a different name. I did look into on Dsmtuners.

                                        When it was off. So what does it mean then?
