Well out of no where today my car decided to just not go out of second gear (this is in a 5-speed manual) and I had to force it out and force it into 3rd and so on. The slower I went the easier it got. I finally got it back to my house and parked it for 2 days. Now if I'm going 0-20mph it is PERFECT once I get above 20 it's like the trans is frozen in whatever gear. Any ideas? It DOES NOT grind at all. And there are no noises at all. Clutch is like 2 months old and is a stage 2 trans was replaced about 1.5 years ago and only has maybe 12k miles on it.

I have a little hand pump that fits into a quart size jug, or gallon jug and i use that to add fluid into my mustang.

youll need to take a look at your transmission mount, and your motor mounts while your under there adding fluid.

Just pull the top plug and the shifter. Put something under the tranny so that the overflow oil will run out, add 1/4-1/2 a qt at a time until you see it run out then stop and wait for the excess to run out before you plug it. Should be good to go... obviously its easier if you have 2 people.

Check your clutch adjustment also... Make sure you have full pedal travel and that its totally disengaging. Good luck man
