Hm.. I find that my shifter is stiff as well, but sometimes its smooth as hell, not sure if its messed up. But I'm hard on shifting so i guess that might be the cause. No grinding though, only the normal 1st to 2nd hard lauch grind once in a blue moon. I'll be changing the tranny fluid in about 2-3 months cause its too damned cold to do it now... Keep us posted on the problems.

I am actually in Huntersville now, exit 23 of 77.

On the royal purple thing, I purchased this when I posted previously and the other day it had not shipped yet. I went back to prostreetonline.com (iirc, I'm at work right now) and went to their online service (live chat) and the guy told me that the royal purple products had been recalled due to the labeling not conforming to federal guidelines. He said they would ship it as soon as they got it and I told him to give me my money and cancel the order. In any case, I am now waiting on some BG synchroshift from a different vendor.

The only reason I switched vendors (aside from price) was prostreetonline never called me. It looked to me like they were going to wait until they got more and then ship. It should not take four business days to get 3qts. of tranny fluid shipped out.
