Transmission

[Black Thunder 715]

The tranny is getting harder to shift, especially when it's cold. It has Amsoil fluid changed a couple of yrs ago and I haven't put too many miles ever since. Any suggestions? Thanks

Swap fluid first, as its a cheap test. Stock shifter?

Yes. Still using the stock shifter.

Ran Amsoil ATF for roughly 2 years and noticed shifting would be harder in cold weather until everything got warmed. Switched the Mobil 1 ATF and still experienced cold weather shift issues but the time it took the trans to warm up was reduced. Not knocking Amsoil but Mobil 1 just seems to work better in my transmission.

Edit- Cold is 45-50 deg F for me.

I replaced my stock shifter with the MGW just recently and love it for many reasons. My stock shifter shifted worked ok but I had a strange noise/vibration with it. However the MGW makes the factory shifter seem whoafully terrible by comparison (in my opinion at least)
