Gear shifting

Hi All

Is it normal that the shifting on a 135 is on the the hard side. i know it becomes harder as soon as one installes the SSK but i mean as a general.

My 2nd to 3rd shift is hit or miss. Annoys me since I never had this prob on other MT cars.

I wonder what the MTF is that is used in SA... if it is different than what is used in the NA market.

IIRC, it is a LL ATF used over here...

Switched my tranny oil to Redline D4 ATF (recommended by Mr. 5) it's smooth as butter. It took a few weeks to smooth out...not sure why, maybe didn't leave it to drain long enough and some of the factory oil is still in there. Now, the only time I miss shift 2nd-3rd and 3rd-4th is under real hard WOT to Redline acceleration but I've the UUC Red tranny mount sitting in my garage just didn't have time to install it, that should fix it.
