2nd gear "crunchy"

[cheshire cat]

they won't if it's "filled for life"-- I guess they're better out than in -for the cost of the oil-- I guess it's like other things the stealers don't do, unless they remember they can charge, like pollen filter and air- con gassing

Think I'll wait until the Manufacturers warranty has expired and then do it...........I'll look to see if there is a lower viscosity but manufacturers recommended. It's been great today...forgot about the "2nd gear problem"......but then the ambient Temperature was never below 10DegC. What I can't understand if there is a "mechanical" problem that increases resistance, why would a rise in Temperature (when tolerances get smaller/tighter) actually help the situation ? I can only think its due to oil flow & higher temp = lower viscosity.

Exactly.
