transmission grinding?

I have a 99 coupe and it likes to grind while i am trying to downshift into third and sometimes into 5th...its not all the time.

I talked to a few guys and they told me that if i replace the clutch fluid that could fix the problem. I am thinking maybe the clutch and i have nightmares about it being the transmission, but like i said it is not all the time.

does anyone have any insight to this? especially the whole "changing fluids" thing?

thanks all!

It sure wouldn't hurt to change the clutch fluid. I changed the trans fluid in mine and it helped some, but didn't "cure" it.

Hope that helps.

Do a search on the "Ranger method" for changing clutch fluid.
I've done it 4 times and now the clutch fluid stays clear.
