Is my dealer lying to me?
I've got an 05 Mustang, v6 manual, and it's been having difficulty shifting lately. Sometimes you really have to struggle to get it into 2nd or 3rd gear.
Took it into the dealer to check it out, and they said it's normal because it's a non-synchro transmission.
Is this BS?

In the movie "Bullitt", Steve McQueen is double-clutching the Mustang as he chases the bad guys up that last hill before the expolsion scene.(for sound effect reasons, because synchro type trans have been around since the 50's in mass produced American cars).
Do your difficulties with shifting occur after start up or all the time? Cold tranny fluid would cause some notchiness, but not to the point where you can't shift smoothly. Are you new to driving stick-shift?
