problem with shifting (hard) Please help
I am personally not a fan of bg fluid. I change my tranny fluid every 5000 miles. I have used bg syncroshift, Redline MT 90 and amsoil MTG. With bg, the drain plug would be covered in metal bits to the point where you could not even see the magnet. With Redline MT90 , there was much less metal flakes and the magnet can be seen. With amsoil there would be so little metal bits on the magnet that you wouldn't even need to wipe it off when changing the fluid. I stuck with Amsoil for that reason. You can see how well it protects the gears.
its so bizare how some point the finger at the oil so quick and they dont look at the mechanical posibilities that is causing the notchy feeling in the gears, there are so many places to look at before one should even look at the oil for problems, MTG GL4 is a direct replacement for OEM Diaqueen.

1. re grease underhood bushings(change to brass if you haven't already, makes a nice difference when shifting)
2. Change transmission fluid. I have tried all the brand names and I am running Amsoil, best results so far.
3. If it's still a little notchy then your clutch could be on it's way out or something similar.
