Hmmm.....

looks like I'm not alone.... my tip box was shifting perfectly and smoothly until I changed the fluid. Now it sometimes jerks violently into gear... usually from 2nd to 3rd or downshifting from 3rd to 2nd. No problems in other gears.

I'm on BMW (5-speed) ZF tip oil, what oil are you on ? I had thought of changing back to either Pentosin or original (also supposed to be Pentosin) to see if that's the problem. My friend's 996 also changed tip fluid about the same time, but he used the original oil and doesn't seem to have any problems.

What tip oil did you change to ?
