Hard to shift..help
 

ok here the story..my 95 240sx doesn't want to shift when cold,..or when i start..for some reason it just won't go into gear smoothly..like i mean it goes but i have to put force in it..this only happens when i start the car up..but then it goes away after the car warms up..but for some reason gear 1 2 3 when i shift sometimes i can feel the gears in the tranny its like im rubbering against it..does anyone have this kind or problem..or any help would be appreaciate..thx..

happens to lots of us, not only 240 owners...fluid isnt heating up yet thus not allowing smooth shifts...just be gentle when driving your car at first till its hot

would this be the cuase of the oil im using? or does anyone know which transmission oil is the best for it..regualar or syntehic..and what brand.. well right now im useing mobil1 syntehic..so i don't know if thats the cause.

Most of our cars do it. Because synthetic is a little thinner cars I have driven with synthetic don't shift as good until they are wamred up, but once warmed up they shift better.

Make sure you are using GL-4 fluid also.

I use MT-90 in my tranny and it is great once it is warm.
