i have a 5speed 1994 suzuki sidekick and the gears are freezing in the cold weather my machanic has changed the gear fluid and told me that what i had before was to thick and the gears still freeze ... the suzuki dealership around my area told me to put 75-90 in it and my machanic says that is still 2 thick Does any one have any idea what can fix this
or what causes this if its not the gear fluid please let me know
Thanks

The problem is the weather. You would need a new transmission. Or, it could be the gearbox. See an auto parts dealer, or buy a new vehicle.

My bet is you can use a full synthetic gear lube, I used Mobil 1 gear lube and I was able to shift in winter just a little harder than summer. I don't remember exactly what Suzuki recommends but a bunch of cars use automatic transmission fluid in their manual transmissions. I know Ford has
several 5 speeds that use ATF year round. Check with a Suzuki dealer and they can look up what you use in severe service, and winter is severe. hope this helps, For more power Nitrous Oxide will help, till she blows.
