umm a lot of transmissions dont like to go into first while moving… dont try and force it in, put some pressure on it and let it go in by itself

my Z31’s isnt sychroed in first so you cant just force it into first

my g20 is the same way

you have a g20?!?!?!? mmmmm

i thought it was the clutch and i knew these trannys were tempermental to going into first and they only grind at that time of the month but it better not go before i get the sr20

i am getting it cause i am selling my ipod for 70, my tail lights and visors for 55, i have 100 in the bank, this kid may buy my sub and box for 100 and my paycheck tomorrow will probibly be around 150-160ish…thats a total of 475 and i have some parts on ebay, so hopefully i can buy the engine and pay my dad back within the next few weeks

could also just need a fluid change/ top up.

go with a quality synthetic like royal purple, amsoil, redline, etc… that may fix or at least help your problem.
