A little background...
~12,000 miles on a trans rebuilt by O.C. Tangerine shift linkage Tangerine firewall shift bearing All bushings replaced 80w90 dino oil - changed about 8 or 9 months ago. Shifting is perfect when it's warm outside; nice, easy, fluid. I don't have to think about what I'm doing. Gear changes are effortless. When the temps get cold (the high today was 45), shifting gets pretty difficult. Imagine trying to slice ice cold butter with a cold knife...but not the blade part of the knife, the flat side. It takes a good bit of effort to get from gear to gear, which makes my shifts really slow. So much so that I'm needing to double clutch upshifts because the shift lever literally isn't able to be moved quickly enough. And it doesn't get any better even after I've been driving for half an hour and the car is fully warmed up. Anyone else have a similar issue? Should I try a different gear oil? I've had other cars where the shifting gets a little tough when it gets cold out, but none that were anywhere near this bad. |
