Hey, have made a few enquires on a Caldina when i asked about the gearbox the owner said " when its cold its a little hard to get into gear" he also mentioned its running a redline gear oil.

Does this sound normal?

Cheers

hard to get in gear while its cold sounds like the wrong oil has been used redline is good stuff

Perhaps may just need the clutch bleeding?

Would be the oil, does the same on the caldina and the starlet on cold mornings. Im sure about Redline myself but Ive heard good things

I run redline (MT90?) in mine and have no problems, apart from a very occasional problem getting into reverse, and that's with a TRD short shifter kit. I would guess there's some issue with clutch not disengaging fully or possibly the wrong type of oil.
