I just finished changing all of the fluids after a 2000 mile trip in my A. No issues during the trip, but now I can't shift into 2nd and 3rd without severe grinding. I can get into all gears from a stop. My brother, who has a lot of mechanical experience, suggested that my new gear lube is too thick to allow the gears to slide on the sector shaft. The new gear lube is GL 1500, from a Model A supplier. I don't know what the previous lube was in the transmission as it was put in by an engine rebuilder. I'm in the process of contacting him.
Thoughts?
