Hey

when i start up my car in the morning I find it slighty difficult to put it into 1st gear. Almost like there is no 1st gear to shift into. When that happens i just "wiggle" the shifter in neutral and then put it into 1st. Seems to happen every time. just curious if anyone else experiences this when they try to put it into 1st.

But once the car get warmed up and I drive it for a while its like Buttah again.

I guess its just because the tranny is cold?

about 28,300 miles.

And they said they changed the Fluid when they swapped out the stock clutch with the SPEC clutch.

lol.. well, you do have the tremec3650. If they filled more than the 3.2qtz that ttc tremec recommends it'll be hard to shift. but then again it shifts like butter when warmed up.. if i were you i would drain it and refill with dextron III.

Mine 02 does the same exact thing everyday - no bother though. I just row through all the gears before throwing it into reverse and backing out of the garage. Then it doesn't do it ever again.
This doesn't really bother or concern me...It's tight and shifts perfectly. It's just a little stiff when when I first try to shift. But again, one row through the gears and it's ready to go.
