Hi my name is chris, i own a manual 98 GT and the transmission has been acting strange. it is very hard to get it into gear. especially reverse. I have to push several times to get it in R. now it is starting to do that for first gear. to get it in Reverse i have to put it up to 5 a few times in order for it to go into R. maybe it is the fluid,I dont know. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

I have a 97 GT and it is hard to get into R a lot. I have to go up to 1st and then back into R or maybe even move forward a little. This is a common problem for our trannys...but how many miles are on it and if you have never changed the fluid that is always a good thing to do...maitainance is key.

But has the tranny always been hard to get into R. Are any gears grinding or whining?
