Clubbers--

Is it possible that I'm losing lubrication or just my mind?? It seems there are times when getting into 1st gear is simple but lately I can't seem to get back to 1st gear without grinding me and all other stopped traffic to a screeching halt.

I do have a slow drip from under the car--seems I have a slight cack in the bottom transaxel (magnesium) housing which I was told was not repairable?? Could this be the culprit?

I can get into 1st easier once in a while when I push up toward reverse then into first. Sometimes revving up then putting her into 1st helps. Should I be more aggressive or will I slowly chip away at my gearbox???

Any thoughts or tips here?? Any thoughts on costs/sources for parts to repair the lower housing??

Thanks--John
