Second gear grinds?????????????

Figured I would just help clarify how to change your manual transmission fluid. On the passenger side of the vehicle there are two plugs on the side of the transmission. They both have a square insert in them that is perfect for the end on a regular size socket wrench. The one on top is the "fill plug" and the one on the bottom is the "drain plug". The first step is to remove the drain plug and let all the transmission fluid drain out completely and make sure to clean the drain plug before you put it back in. (It should be magnetic to catch metal shavings that have ground up in the transmission.) When you put the drain plug back in then you can remove the "fill plug" and you will need a fluid transfer pump to pump your transmission fluid up and into your fill plug. When transmission fluid starts to come out of the fill plug then it is full and you can put the plug back in. Make sure to tighten everything, but be careful to not overtighten and look for any leaks.  Ford switched to using automatic transmission fluid in the 90's but you will want to make sure just in case to get the right kind. There are also good transmission additives that you can add to your transmission fluid which will help it. Lucas makes a pretty good one that I have had good luck with. Hope that helps. Goodluck and be sure to let me know how it goes.

There Should Be A Plug On The Side Of The Transmission. You'll See The Head Of A Bolt On The Side Toward Top, Or Middle. One On Very Bottom Is The Drain. Now Just Look For Another Similar Plug. Make Sure That Year And Model Doesn't Take Automatic Transmission Fluid. If It Doesn't Go Away. Time To Have Rebuilt. Syncro's Are Going. Good Luck
