Thanks for the info. I am having the same symptoms as the OP. When the car is cold and first driving away from my garage, I have to shift slowly and carefully to avoid grinding 2nd gear. The clutch also doesn't engage smoothly. After the clutch and trans warms up, everything is fine. I flushed the clutch and it feel much better. Now I am going to change the trans fluid. I know the Castrol is popular but I did see a post where someone said they got better syncromeshing with AMSOil. Since my issue only shows up cold, should I consider the thinner AMSOil? Or something else?
