Trany oil change/gears problem
Recently I changed the trany's oil and I realized that is hard to put in or pull out the 1st to 2nd gear in the morning when you about to drive the car. But it turns normal after 10 miles of driving in the morning. I hardly have any 1st to 2nd gear grinding or problem but this is my first time experiencing the problem so I want to see if anyone knows or had a same problem. I also realized that weather is very cold in the morning and i am not sure if it has to do with the weather.

Got the loaner line up for next Monday night before 7pm. I will let you guys know what happen. I put in a note for the tech guy, only to test drive in the morning when they open. Because i don't want to give dealer the excuse to said can't duplicate the problem. (if they test drive the car in the afternoon).

What gear oil are you guys using in your gearboxes when you're changing it?
Every thread I've read about our 6-speed transmissions says that a lot of people have had trouble when they change to something other than the OEM fluid. Some poeple have had success in mixing two different weight gear oils together to get the proper weight/viscocity that matches OEM spec, but I don't think 3rd party lubricant manufacturer sells the exact right weight/viscocity out the door without you mixing them.

okay guys, I just got the call from the dealer. Dealer said the tech felt the same thing in the morning and they said they aren't sure if is the trany or the clutch problem but they want to advise me that if they do the tear down on clutch and tranny then i will have to pay for $1000 just for the labor if the problem is not my trany and another $1700 for parts for the clutch plus putting everything back. What do you guys think and what my options are?
