Before my the water temp gauge reaches 180 degree's, i really dislike driving my car. Here is why.

1. 2nd gear seems to not engage as easily until engine was passed the 180 degree mark. The only way to get it to shift into 2nd is to really pull back quite hard on the shifter and all is fine. Or sometimes I just skip 2nd gear until the water temp has warmed up.

2. If i'm coming to a stop and i'm at about 2-5 mph and want to shift down to 1st gear, it won't go into first gear unless i make a complete stop first.

Thoughts on these conditions and any fixes you guys can think of?
