[QUOTE="D-Rock, post: 8290028, member: 56952"] I've been dealing with the hard to shift issue since getting the car 6 months ago ('04 w/31k on the odo). 3rd gear was just plain silly. I was thinking the clutch, TOB, etc. was to blame and was dreading having to drop the tranny in the garage. Figured I would go cheap and easy first and drained the tranny fluid and replaced with plain, cheap Castrol Dex 3 ($14/gal is how plain it is). Old fluid came out dirty gray/red, but no shavings, material, etc. Shifts like butter now...so much so that I've been finding excuses to see how quick I can slam gears. This stuff may need to be replaced every year, but for $14 and 30 minutes, I'll do this anytime. YMMV, but when in doubt, I always go back to the basics first. [/QUOTE]
