Manual or automatic? I had a prob with a solonoid on an automatic before that did the same thing. Once it got heated up it would'nt change gear, then jumped forward and stalled. Just a thought, I'm no mechanical expert, but I'm sure someone else could give you a better idea.
are you using the clutch, lol... j/k.

you might need a new transmition, but if no1 on here helps much, i'd take it to a mech. and see if you can just get it lub'ed up or if you should get it replaced.
sounds like you may have syncro problems.

New Toyota project coming soon...
some time i do grind in reverse yeah it feels like it stuck half way when im changing it back to first or whatever. Is there any lub or oil that I can use to try to fix it this problem?
actually, that same thing was happening to me. Exact same thing! I just took mine to clutch doctors and they simply adjusted the clutch. If it's the same as mine then your shift rod (or something like that) is simply loose and clutch doctors should be able to do it for free, or even if not for free, a minimal charge. But yea, everyone said it might have been my syncros to, but it wasn't. So just take it to clutch doctors man, because I'm pretty sure it's a simple problem and a quick fix.
Yeah, what is clutch doctors? Is that just a mechanic place that specializes in clutches?

Well I dont know if its the rod you speak of since it wouldnt explain him having trouble once the engine is heated up but its still something to consider, to me it sounds like some lubrication issues. Go get some high quality synthetic tranny fluid and see if that helps. Im trying to remember the name of some good stuff, might be called syntec synchro mesh or something like that, I believe its a gm product. But alot of people with shifting problems try it and are quite happy with the results.

Also dude, give your tranny a break and try double clutching to get in gear instead of messing up your gears by jamming/grinding it in.
tried double clutching already step on it 10 tens still wont go in
i just im gonna try the tranny fluid first btw where do i poor it in

Man, that sucks. Sorry bro. And for those of you who asked earlier, clutch doctors are mechanics who specialize in clutches and brakes. They have the lowest prices and are the most honest of any of the mechanics I've seen. That's just why I said go there, but I didn't realize they arent in a lot of states. Thought they were more popular than that.

No it was stripped and the differential leaks around the axels so we have to keep filling it from there. Thanks for the info.
