Any of you guys that just bought a Shep trans have trouble shifting it right away? I've seen a few threads where they say it takes some miles, but I've got about 250 on mine (100 highway, with downshifts) but it doesn't really shift all that good.
At a stop light, it's very hard to get it into 1st gear unless I go into 2nd and then 1st. When I go to shift into 2nd, again, it's a little harder to get into gear. Alot harder then it should be.
Does it get better? And how long does it normally take? I'm running an 80-90 synthetic with a mix of shock-proof according to 3 DSM places that are pretty good and it's what they run.
Should I just try something different like a SyncroShift (not Syncromesh)?
