Is this another common problem with DSMs?

i feel your pain man, I went to put my car in reverse and it wouldnt go in at all. Then it overheated because all my "coolant" froze inside the radiator and now its sitting at stop n go :mad:POS
maybe you should have put some "coolant" in it
-
that would suck if it was. i told him the other day to put some coolant in it

my dsm has kinda been having the same going into (R) problem every now and then...and when it is a problem just keep on semi-forcing it in (dont grind it) and slightly let off the clutch a little bit until it pops into gear...thats what i do anyway and it works for me...then again, i got a new gvr4
.....but its worth a shot -
yeah the cold is tuff for reverse sometimes but i have had the problem without the extreme cold, just put it in fourth and let off the clutch just a very little bit, and then put it in reverse quick, works everytime man
as far as the syncromesh, i wouldnt go with penzoil, i dont know if the put perafin in there like they do with there oil, but if they do it is no good, it is like a wax that will coat the gears, and builds up. i have seen some bad stuff happen to motors with penzoil!
NO PENZOIL! haha

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.i have no idea..... i was just thinkin they probably would put parafin in there
-
I agree...penzoil does not make very good oil. It just makes a mess. I have heard the same thing(no proof though) of havoline their products.
-
cheaper is generally not better, there is probably just more shitty addatives to make it cheaper!
