Well certain parts of your syncro teeth could be getting worn out and you may only touch that side every once in a while. You might also want to try a good synthetic transmission fluid.

^+1. Snychros seem to be the problem.

i figured the syncros are worn out... i guess ill be needing a new trans.... could low trany fluid cause the problem??? and maybe the way the car sits once in awhile cause the problem.... because it only does it once in the morning...

I replaced my clutch cable, took all the grinding away. Guess it was the clutch not going all the way thru its motions due to stretch. Felt like a hydraulic clutch afterwards, maybe something to look at...Good Luck

Maybe but fresh synthetic fluid can always be good. The new synthetic stuff is really slippery and helps the syncros guide things together.

well i just put new high milage flluid in there when i changed the clutch a month r so ago... and i noticed a small leak

Anothter vote for the synthetic fluid (it's less viscous than a comparable conventional fluid - just what you need for the first shifts on a cold NJ morning). 3 quarts of your favorite won't be too expensive of an experiment (you could save your existing fluid in a container for some other T5 if you want. ).

Good luck.
