As Rocket stated, I have no issues at all with shifting, EXCEPT for the initial gear change when the transmission is cold. I can confidently say it's not driver error, as I am 46 and have been driving standard shift since 14 years old.
I would occasionally get ever the slightest crunch on the initial 1 - 2 shift after backing the car out of the garage after it has been sitting for a few days. If I short-shift on that initial 1 - 2 shift, nothing.
At 47,000-ish miles last July my Indie did the LN IMS bearing update. He also swapped out the throwout bearing and replaced the RMS (while we're in there), and found a flywheel still within spec, a pressure plate in good condition and a surprise: a recent clutch disc the previous owner never informed me about.
I guess I'll have to take a drive into Toronto or to London to the nearest dealership for transmission fluid. A three hour road trip. Aw shucks.
