Hard to get into second gear...

Is it because the Tranny or clutch oil is frozen? Car has 60K on it and I've already gotten the tranny and rear diff oil replaced on the 2005 M6 G35 already.
I don't think this is normaly am I correct?

On my old maxima, the OEM fluid would make the tranny difficult to shift in extreme cold temperatures, during the first few minutes of driving. When I switched to Amsoil synthetic MT oil, the stiffness went away.

From: Trolling a forum near u.... (T.O.)
i had switched to redline synthetic when i had my car. i also got tired of all the double clutches in order to get into 1st gear during the winter months. i didn't really see a difference with it though. when it's cold.. every oil is going to be cold and thick and start-up no matter what u use imho. if i were u, i'd just save your money and stick with the nissan oem it's about as good as u can get.
sorry to hear about your window dilemma. i had the same problems with mine. it gets frustrating and tiring dealing with all the failing little motors and actuators after a while, especially when u have a full time job. at least u still have warranty, good luck with the repairs.

Yes the sound is just like what you said. A cross between a win/howl noise. Something like "Wheeeeeurrrrr" and it goes up and down pending on my acceleration. I read somewhere that someone said that noise is normaly until the air ducts get open but I don't see that as normal.
You say you used synthetic oil. Is the oil that I got from the dealer not good enough? It was the Quaker state synthetic oil that I got from my dealer. Apparently this is the oil that they use instead of the Jmatic oil now.

Thats exactly what I have to do. Double clutch to get it into gear. Kinda sucks. If this is normal I somehow don't remember having these issues last winter.

I can't comment on the OE oil. I changed to synthetic because I wanted a change at that interval and wanted to ensure a quality replacement.

I so regret buying the frigging tranny oil at Markham Infiniti. Quaker State Synthetic 75W-90 was what I got. I should of went off on my own and got a more reliable brand.
Not sure why a frigging dealer would not sell original oil as the oil I had in my car had no issues the past 2 winters.

...as soon as I get around to placing an order.
I'll be changing the rear dif as well, but that will likely wait until spring.
