Hey there, first time on the list and the proud new owner of an '89 GL.
Can you you folks help? I have trouble shifting into first gear, and was
suspecting it was a linkage problem.  When at a dead stop, you somtimes have
put it in second and then throw it hard into first.  I looked at the gear box
linkage
and it looked fine, no bent parts, and well lubricated(what do I know about
these things yet, anyway?).  Unfortunately, I took a look at the transmission
and can
see leaking tranny fluid coming from near the CV boots.  It has a had a
recent clutch job and every thing else in the tranny feels fine.  Is the leak
from lack of fluid?  I wonder what I'm in for since changing or even checking
the tranny fluid seems like a great mystery to me?
Your help and experience is much appreciated.
THANKS
Andrew Dunn
