Manual Trans Fluid swap
Yesterday I swapped out the factory ATF and put in 3.2 quarts of Amsoil ATF. The car does shift a bit smoother going from first to second. All the other gears felt smooth prior so I don't notice a difference. The fluid looked and smelled clean and the drain plug was clean no shavings.

did the earlier models of Stangs have that 1-2 shift notchyness/stiffness as well?
I used to complain a bit when I first got my car ('12 gt) but I've gotten pretty used to it. But I wouldn't mind having smoother shifts in general.
Did you change the fluid yourself? I heard it's not that complicated but I would feel safe getting it done at a dealership.

I put GM synchromesh in mine and while I noticed a slight improvement right away, it really took the course of a month to really notice how much it improved. It gets gradually better over the first few weeks I believe. When I drove my buddy's with ATF in it, was when I really noticed how drstically mine had improved.
