Default Transmission
hey guys post 3 for today ^^ ok heres the thing, i have a 99 rs manual and AFTER the car has warmed up properly, shifting is as usual, not as smooth as i like. it feels like theres someting holding it back and not wanting to shift.. no grinding or anything like that. if i dont let it warm up, its almost impossible to shift to first and second. what do you guys think it could be? i rescently had my 3rd and 4th synchro's fixed and my clutch changed by a mech. thanks

Does it feel like the restriction could be in the linkage? Or like you need to flush the tranny and put some fresh fluid in?

i think you need to replace the fluid. And like dsm said, BG syncroshift oil is the way to go

I use BGII in my evo. It's synthetic tranny fluid and you can find it cheapest at bushurracing.com
