ok so the title pretty much explains it. going through the gears is fairly rough...in the morning its worse, but stays pretty consistent throughout the day. the catch is, its usually only 1st and 2nd gear. i know changing the tranny oil is line, but im thinking since its usually only in 2nd, something else may be the culprit?

in the mornings (it was around 25 this morning, which is cold for charlotte), almost always when i shift into 2nd, the parking brake light comes on? any help would be appreciated.

....i do have a 2" body lift, and im guessing this has something to do with it...but what exactly is the solution?

mines notchy N->1 and 1->2 ... i think most people on here with the 5 speed will say the same thing...

Redline MT-90 did help some.

id say notchy is a good way to describe it.

what do i do with redline mt-90?

put it in your transmission... drain the old oil out first

I noticed the transmission was a lot more notchy when cold, and gets better when warmed up. I got redline MT-90 and it does help, but it won't completely cure it.
Your BL might will also make it harder to shift

yea i think the bl is what is doing the trick. but its 10x worse when its cold...ill do the redline treatment hopefully tomorrow. i take it i can get it at pepboys?

What you describe can be a symptom of a clutch that's not fully disengaging. If the clutch engages just as the pedal comes off the floor, that's likely the problem.

This can usually be fixed by bleeding the clutch hydraulics and adjusting the clutch master cylinder pushrod. If these don't fix it, a new slave or master cylinder is probably needed.

Good luck.

Redline is amazing stuff... It will make a huge difference.

Reline isn't a treatment...it's a gear oil. http://www.redlineoil.com/products_g...sp?subcatID=18

And check the level of your brake fluid as it is most likely low...
