I have a C5 corvette standard 6 speed transmission. having problem shifting into first and going into second. A friend suggested changing the fluid first ( cheapest start to the problem) corvette was using DEXTER #3 in the C5 The new vettes 2005 and up now use the improved DEXTER 6 . can i use the DEXTER 6 in my model C5 its a 1998 and has never been changed but has only 45000 miles thanks in advance,
1 you can always use the BETTER upgraded fluid 6 is better than 5 better than 4 and so on 2 shifting problems begin with clutch and linkage if more than 30/40K unless you drive like my mom replace clutch 3 unless you trashed tranny
The problem sound like the transmission Fluid and filter need changing and to be on the safety side take the vehicle to Transmission Repair Shop and ask them to change your transmission fluid and filter. the cost should $100 that way to can be safety on the correct Type of fluid for transmission.
