So I have had my car about 6 months now. It has 105k on the clock. No record of when the last time the transmission oil was changed. First and second gear syncros are toast, but if I am real careful I can get it to slip in without grinding. Got to put it in first just before you come to a stop. I just changed the oil (Brad Penn) and thought it would be a good time to try some SWEPCO 201 in the transmission. The oil that drained out looked pretty good. Still had an amber color to it but a little on the low side. So now with the SWEPCO 3rd has a real notchy feel to it. second will zip on the teeth as I come down from third with my usual methods. First is even more finicky than before. Outside Temp is 35-45 degree range right now. Will this get better over time? Seems like I went backwards.
