How many of you guys have had major tranny issues with your trucks? I have 700 miles on my 07 and the tranny grinds in 1,2 and 5th already. I am getting ready to swap the tranny fluid to redline mt-90. I have driven it like a grandpa since I got it, so its not a break-in issue.

My 2nd gear grinded until i put in the LSD additive, problem was immediately solved. Im running redline MT-90 now with the same awesome results. :top:

it seems to only grind when its a cold start and only when I release the clutch. Its not extremely noticeable yet, I am hoping by changing the fluid soon it will be ok. When it grinds on your guys' truck with problems, is it pretty loud?? Mine also feels weird on the highway in 5th gear, like a little rough, and I mean for as long as I drive in 5th

I have an 06 with 22000 miles. I have had issues with grinding since day one... I added the mt-90 a couple weeks ago before the VA meet and i havent had a problem with grinding since then. You can take it back to the dealer to have them check it out, but regardless of what you do, change that tranny fluid...

my 06 ground in 2nd and 5th (with MT-90)

my 07 locked me out of 3rd and 4th, got a new tranny, the new one grinds 2nd sometimes and 4th from redline in 3rd (with MT-90)

just wait til it gets bad, take it in, get a new tranny, then change the oil.
u don't wanna put good oil in bad gears, get urself some new ones. the dealers love it. they get paid just as much whether its warranty or service.

Six speeds took a little getting used to for me. The URD short shifter helps enormously! If you don't got it get it! I think there on sale right now.

Same exact as you. I hit 20K miles the other day and instantly I started grinding 5th but if I gently engauge it or slip it in. It goes in fine.. No point going to the dealership here they'll tell me there's nothing wrong :argh:
