Hi and thanks for all the best info on the T100!

I have been driving around town a bit, shifting a lot of gears.

1996 2.7 4-cylinder, rear wheel drive.

It became difficult to get into first gear sometimes at stoplights, and I would shift into 2nd and then into 1st to make it easier.

After checking my oil, the level was at the bottom of the acceptable dipstick level.

So I added a quart, and now it shifts like no problem.

So would this be because enough oil gives the engine enough compression to power other things like the tranny/clutch/synchromesh/shifting?

Just curious how after adding one quart of engine oil, I can shift no problem easy every time. Same outside temps, same driving around town for 4-8hr.

Thanks very much

 

Vewwy interesting. I had low oil and trouble shifting into 2nd. Didnt think they were connected. Still dont know why they would be but its worth thinking abt.
