Hi guys, I posted in the General section not knowing that you can post tranny problems in here. Anyways, here's the deal. I had difficulty shifting into all gears. (There was more force needed). After a drive to work, I checked out what was going on. I saw that my tranny fluid was low, so I filled it up with 80w-90 gear oil. Someone said that was bad. But I drove home and I let the car sit since. I tried starting it up twice. On the second time, I started up the car while in first, but it wouldn't let me shift out!. I had to stop the car and try again, and it let me. Symptoms: -Difficulty to shift into/out gears -Clutch pedal seems softer, and becomes harder after several pumps. -There was an instance where I grinded into 3rd. -My car is sitting =( ..
-derek PS: Please help ASAP because this car is my daily, and no car= no school & no work. =(

First things first, get that gear lube out, drain the tranny and fill with the correct trans fluid.
Your problems sounds like it is with your hydrolic clutch system. Possible a lak in the rubber line. Or a Master or Slave Cylinder. With having to pump your clutch to build pressure your clutch isn't fully disengaging and that would make you grind gears.
