Anyone else with IX experiencing your third gear feeling sticky when pulling it out into neutral? Sometimes it feels like it's stuck and you gotta use extra force to "unlock" it...

My 6 speed IX tranny is very smooth.. kind of like butter.

It's very easy to go in and out of gear.

But then again, I also changed the tranny oil after the first 1200 miles. Lots of metal shavings floating around. Then I got mocked by people here, saying "why would you change your drivetrain fluid after only 1200 miles. You should wait till you have 30k... blah blah blah."

Duh.

I get the same thing some times, but just when I'm being lazy about getting into the clutch good.
