Just wondering!

Should have asked in the Tech section, but I feel more comfy in here with NE fellows.

Anyway, its not bothering me much and have been driving like that since I don't know when and the car is +99K mileage (still original clutch). The issue is the gear engaging when everything is not warmed up. Having hard time sometimes engaging 1st gear or reverse. Let the car move a little on 2nd gear or whatever then it will engage. As I said above, not really bothering me but is there anything I can do to make it smoothier? Thanx guys.

did you change fluids yet? that would be a big help... but if you didnt, better off just upgrading the clutch and/or the flywheel then putting in a better fluid.

did you have this problem before? you do know that there were recalls for 2nd and 5th grinding on 03-04 Gs and Zs..

I don't remember if I ever notice about that recall. But I believe that my 3rd is fine thats why never really bother, except now the car is getting old (high mileage) I just want to prevent something til I really need to replace them.

sometimes its hard for me to get into reverse. I have no idea why this is, but is sounds like you may have the same problem. I only have 50K on my 04 coupe.
