Re: Grinding/hard shifting

Stephen,
This is happening to mine now. FF tranny with 170K on it.
Wasn't happening till I added the Synthetic though.
Apparently I used the wrong Synthetic when I changed out the fluid.
I used the Redline 75W90NS instead of the MTL.
Everyone says the MTL will solve this, can't wait to find out :)
