Why does this happen /o/?

Just jam it into all gears.
>>
>>16401384
try a different oil

>>16401402
Literally every forum i browse swears by redline fluids.
should i just switch to a genuine nissan fluid and see what happens?

>>16401460
That's what I would try first. If you like the shifts when the trans is cold you might try a thicker oil that will retain more of it's viscosity when it gets up to temp.
I have coastal tractor fluid in my trans and it shifts well.

>>16401384
might be gearbox damage.
it's 20 years old

>>16401489
In that case im thinking that switching to redline MTL might fix it.
MT90 is 75w-90. MTL is 75w-80.

MTL would be less viscous then.
Have you tried any non synthetics? Some people say it's too slippery and doesn't let the synchros grab as well.
