Ok, so about a year and a half ago I dropped the car off at a mustang specialsts' place called "slater's automotive". I had someone, i suppose slater, put in a rebuilt t5 in and swap it out with the old t5 I had (which had worn out synchros and no 2nd gear)
Now about 17 months later, third gear is grinding every once in a while when I shift into it. Its not popping out and I KNOW i'm pushing the clutch all the way down (either that or i'm going crazy).
I called Slater's and apparently the transmission only had a year warranty on it. When I told him the problem he asked (very accusingly) "well, haven't you flushed the transmission fluid???" as if its my fault.
So here is my question. How often do you need to flush the transmission fluid? Could a year and a half without a fluid flush actually cause this problem? My suspicions tell me the answer is "no" but I figured I'd ask you guys.
Thanks,
-Will
