Default Tranny doesnt like cold weather

Since it finally hit about 50 degrees here in NY I have noticed that my 6-speed shifts much more smooth now that ists not a billion degrees below zero. How do I rememdy the hard or not smooth shifts when its cold.

Additionally, after driving for around 40-60 mins the transmission doesnt like to shift and engage power smoothly. It becomes very jerky and snappy. Does anyone know what this problem is as well?

Default its normal for a tranny to be stiff like that in sub-zero weather

as for the jerkiness, you might want to look into getting a DTS bar and or a performance engine snub mount.

Redline gear oil helps a great deal, and makes the synchros last longer.
