Shifting problems with my 2000 Miata

Feb 09, 2007 0 Replies

I recently changed my fluid in the transmission with Vfalvoline Synthetic Blend Gear Oil 80W-90. Now the transmission is very hard to shift into 2nd when it's cold. After a few miles of driving, it's fine. Also, prior to taking off the tranmission can shift into 2nd with no problem. But once I take off, it's hard until it warms up. Seems like a synchro problem?



I've considered replacing the fluid again, but with what? Back to a non-synthetic? Or seems like redline is very popular choice.



Anyone had this problem?



thanx, mark
