5sp gears not engaging
This is for my roommates 98 2.4 sunfire. it drove fine 12 hours ago but he went out to go to work and it will not let it go into any gear. clutch fluid is fine, he is dead set on it being low transmission fluid but im not convinced. Recently when shifting into reverse it will grind gears going in. To me it felt like the clutch was going out on it. I dont know how similar the 2.2 clutch vs the 2.4 is but mine slaps me in the bottom of my foot a bit, his is very lazy on popping back up. Now it doesnt feel like its engaging the clutch all the way, just by feel of it. thus preventing it from going into any gears if thats the case. of course we all know gm locked us out of checking trans fluid levels. suggestions?
my first thought- drop the pan, check it out. if all looks ok refill with exact factory spec fluid amount, see what happens. good first step or no?
