Its not a fluid problem with me, as I said before I have not even had a gear grind. I screened the old fluid (amsoil) when i changed it out again this past week at 30,000 km and there was no metal/synchro dust or any foreign things in the oil for that matter. The oil looked almost brand new for 25,000km of use.

This tells me that the transmission is operating properly and not grinding my synchros. Just odd how some shift are butter babys ass smooth, and others are less.

I think im just going to stop worrying about it and say **** it. I have warranty on the car until 120,000 km so i dont really care, Ill just make sure im harder on 2nd gear to expose a mechanical defect if there are any.
