2nd gear, hard to shift after tranny oil change

[sjbox]

Shop used the recommended Burmah oil. Unfortunately, I don't think it has made any difference. On cold mornings, 2nd gear still won't engage I guess my mechanic was right all along, 2nd gear synchro going bad.

Might look for a used tranny in an year or two!

I had the same problem. Read somewhere a guy explaining how he nudged the shifter downward into what you can feel is a small gap just before going through the process of shifting into second Works for me

Try getting the cables adjusted. If you can remove the consol yourself then you save a few hours labor.

Thanks, will have cables checked but also had a short shifter installed so I guess they straightened out the cables when installing the shifter?
