is it time to rebuild my tranny?

Everytime i try to shift above 5000 rpm from first to second, its rather hard to complete the shift.. would this be caused by low or old tranny fluid? - or is it just my sychros are gone, and i need a rebuild? - i have mastered rev matching to downshift, but now going up in the gears is hard.. its ruining my races!

yes, and judging from your pervious posts.... you were just making sure your spider gears didnt freeze up and cleaning up your dead tire cells?

really, go easy on the tranny till you got money to rebuild it
