hi i have a toyota corolla 1990 and has a 4age 20valve engine swap on it and running on stock tranny
problem is recently my car was flooded and all was fine and its running again but it needs to warm up first for about 15 minutes to make it shift smoothly
once it warms up its fine and clutch feels like its brand new.gear oil has been changed,before we changed it there was lots of water on it,do u think i have to change the gear oil again?by the way when engine is off and it is cold i cant move the gear either/its like its glued,but when engine is warm and engine is off/i can move it freely/i dont think this is a clutch dic or pressureplate problem/what do u guys think could be wrong?

What kind of fluid are you using in the trans? Weight?
