Default MN6 help!

My tranny will jump out of 1st gear unless i double clutch it and gears will grind unless i match engine speed. I've been reading on the forum that a simple fluid change might fix this? Is this true?

I was thinking about either finding a new tranny to swap out or overhauling the original one myself.

1. How difficult is it to remove a 6-speed in the home garage (i do have gm service manuals)?

2. If i wanted to swap out, would a mn12 bolt right up with no modifications?

thanks for your help!

i have a 98 coupe with 82,000 miles, stock 6 speed trans

I would change the fluid first.these trannies act very funny if they are either low or the fluid is broken down.JER
