A low transmission lubricant level is generally the result of a leak, inadequate lubricant fill or incorrect lubricant level check. Rear transmission leaks will be from the oil seals or transfer case front seal on 4x4. Front transmission leaks will be from the front input shaft retainer seal. Lubricant may drip from the clutch housing after extended operation. If leak is severe, it may contaminate the clutch disc. Lubricant level check can only be made when the vehicle is level and allowing the lubricant to settle for a minute before checking. This will ensure an accurate check and avoid an under or overfill condition.
HARD SHIFTING Hard shi Hard shifti fting ng can be cau caused sed by low lub lubric ricant ant lev level, el, imp improp roper er or con contam tamina inated ted lub lubric ricant ants. s. Thi This s wil willl cau cause se noi noise, se, excessive wear, internal bind, and hard shifting. Substantial lubricant leaks can result in gear, shift rail, synchro, and bearing damage. The first indications of component damage is usually hard shifting and noise. Shift component damage, clutch adjustment, worn pressure plate or disc, can increased shift effort. If clutch problem is advanced, gear clash during shifts can result. Worn or damaged synchronizer rings can cause gear clash when shifting into any forward gear. In some new or rebuilt transmissions, new synchro rings may tend to stick slightly causing hard or noisy shifts. In most cases, this condition will decline as the rings wear-in.
TRANSMISSION NOISE Most manual transmissions make some noise during normal operation. Rotating gears generate a mild whine that is audible, but generally only at extreme speeds.

The overheating caused by a lubricant problem, can also lead to gear and bearing damage.
