Think about it, if it was an issue of the fluid(which it clearly isn't), then why only 2nd gear? Follow that logic?



Why only second gear? Because the ratio change from 1st to 2nd is larger than the other gears, so the stop rings have to work harder on the 1-2 shift.

Fluid type has an effect on stop ring efficiency, slippery fluid isn't good.



I have been using GM Synchromesh since it came out on COUNTLESS 833's and NEVER had a shifting concern like was described. IF it was the fluid it would have affected other speed gears as well, even if it was more pronounced in 2nd.

Then again, what do I know?
