Gonna hi-jack this thread in lieu of making a new one.

Today I was driving in 1st gear, and I pressed the clutch pedal to the floor and tried to shift into 2nd.

Hear/felt a great grinding noise, let off clutch, then tried again and it was fine.

This isnt anything to worry about is it?

I was nearly flooring it at the time, 5 speed mazda 3 is the car in question

You probably didn't put the clutch in enough and synchros weren't happy. It's fine. You thought you put it to the floor but you didn't.

It's probably just your final drive ratio. If you have 4x4 I'll bet it's not stuck with highway fuel economy gearing. Somewhere between 2 and 3 grand is normal cruusing rpm at freeway speeds with lower-power engines.

That what I was thinking, if it was something really wrong it would happen more then just once I think

>>16712778
It happens. Change the fluid if you haven't in 50k miles and it'll make a difference. If it does it repeatedly then your syncromesh is fucked.

>>16712809
I'll check to see when/if its been changed. Thanks.

And yeah it was only this one time, otherwise its pretty smooth going into gear

>>16712778
Other posts are probably wrong. Sounds like you have a leak in your hydraulic clutch. Bad slave or master cylinder. It's happened on every single manual I have owned, which would be 6 of them.

He said its auto dipshits.
Check conditions of fluid then report back

do you have any check engine lights on?

one ford ranger i worked on would do the same thing but shifting from 1-2 gear, rev high as fuck but once off gas it would shift. CEL was on and it was the throttle position sensor

The fact that your o/d light is flashing means the car is giving you a transmission error code. get the code scanned, with out any more info i doubt any of these bus riders will be able to help. Again scan the code it should be stored if the o/d light flashed.

don't bother with fluid checks before getting the codes scanned.
