I believe some members suggested replacing the transmission fluid with a different brand (e.g., different brand equating to higher quality than what comes from the factory. I forget the specific brand names that were mentioned.)


It wasn't worth the expense to me; it rarely ever happens to the point of annoyance. And if it does, it's gone after 1-2 minutes (because I live in a relatively warm climate?)

Disclaimer: YMMV if this will solve the issue -- since I never tried it out.

thanks for the info. I live in Ny so its pretty damn cold here right now. I may take it into the dealership, idk I'll see if it starts getting worse. But I would really like to take care of it because I feel like second sometimes grinds for no apprent reason. It almost seems like the synchro is off
