[QUOTE="Stitch, post: 1553969, member: 208844"] Just recently I have had a hard time switching gears in my vehicle. I notice when it is cold in the morning (I live in colorado) that I can shift into first gear, and second is almost impossible to shift into so I switch into third. Once the tranny warms up it seem s as though shifting is fine. However, I have started to notice that anytime I am trying to shift out of reverse, it's nearly impossible to do so. If I do manage to bring it out of reverse, there is no way I can switch gears until I turn the car off, put it into the gear I want and then turn the car back on. I have also noticed when sitting at a stop light, after being in neutral, my car is having trouble switching into any gears. I am suspecting a synchro problem or a clutch problem but not quite sure what it could be. FYI, the clutch feels fine. When I depress the pedal, there is little play and a nice resistance. I have just recently had the transmission fluid replaced with a lighter oil because of the colder weather. Funny thing about that, this is when the problem started happening. I took it back to the dealer and they said they added the wrong fluid, replaced it and sent me on my way.
