Sounds like the input shaft isn't slowing down. Either your input shaft is bound up in the end of the crank with a stuck pilot bushing or the clutch is not disengaging. Severe mis-alignment could also do that . Dis it happen all of a sudden or did you change something? Gus

First, don’t drive it. You’re eating up your gears. I put synthetic gear oil in mine once and it was so slick, the synchros would not stop the gears and it would grind. Sounds like your input or clutch is not disengaging. Time to start pulling the transmission to check everything. ^This is my guess too. Wrong trans fluid.

I out the passion gear oil in one and it went from smooth shifting to grinding. Drained it immediately. Old lube hadn’t been changed by me and came out with some moisture even. So I thought I’d done good until first drive. I put 85w-140 in and it was back to being business as usual. I mentioned this before on here and somebody said that meant the trans was worn out if it wouldn’t shift right with the passion juice. That might’ve been, but I wasn’t doing a tear down of a good working trans so I could run a certain type of gear oil.
I want my fair share

(i.e. Passion vs A833) Baffles me why many don't use the "normal" gear oil in an a833. It thins out enough soon after driving as to not be a problem, except in colder weather. And really, how many Really drive them in cold weather?
