+1 to the oil filter. Man, that thing was a b**** the first time. Second change was a breeze thank God.

All the other gears engage much easier but sometimes my car just isn't smooth going into 1st. And I'm talking at a stop.
Funny you should bring up first gear. My friend changed his about a month ago and I saw him last week and he said he was having major problems getting his car into first. I wonder if the MTF has something to do with it? I have yet to switch to the Amsoil.. I get the occassional 3rd gear wall, but that's about it.
