So when my S2 is still cold I noticed that the 1st to 2nd gear shift appears to be a bit off. Almost like the the synchro needs work. Once it reaches normal operating temperature, the problem seems to go away.. anyone had this problem with their transmission? Any remedies? Thanks everyone.

 

No.
You're the first!

Btw.. is the search broken again?



Sorry.

 

completely normal. just take it easy when its cold.

other option is different tranny fluid. i don't have this problem since switching to gm synchromesh.

 

I did see in the search engine about redline synchro issues, and general issues however did not see much relating to temperature. Thanks

 

GM synchromesh? I've used REdline MTL in my Miata before with good results however didn't realize the fluid would remedy the issue. Thanks will try that.

 

Heat and cold make things or metal expand and contract.
Jap engineers calculated the tolerance when metal is cold and when metal is in operating temp.

When you just woke up, you are the mother of all the grouchy people.
Once you warm up, what happen?
Smooth and smiling huh?

 

Hahah, well put.
