RE: another cold question...

When my car was all stock, shifting, regardless of temperature, was pretty
good. I have the AWE short shifter now, and Redline MT90 tranny fluid. This
combination seems to be much more sensitive to temperature changes. In the
summer shifting is smooth and tight from the get-go. Now with the cold
weather (I'm in CT) I'm arm wrestling with the shifter to get it into 2nd.
After a few minutes, though, when the car is all warmed up, shifting is back
to normal.
