6 SPD Trans question
My 03 Z seems to bite a little when shifting from first too second in the morning. It seems after everything warms up it shifts smooth as glass.
Is this normal?
I just replaced the fluid with Royal Purple syncro max it seemed to help a little.
The problem was pre-existing before the fluid change.

Mine does the same thing, when the car is cold the first time through the gears is a bit sluggish, the 1-2 is the most noticable. Goes away after a minute or two of driving. This is with fresh m1 in trans & diff and clean fluid in the clutch cylinder. Its on the original clutch (40k) I would think a new clutch would make a difference. Its nothing major though as it goes away pretty quick after startup.

Yup, that sounds normal........my '07Z shifts just a bit sluggish when I first start out, but after a few minutes it feels fine. I just take it easy and try not to force anything when starting out............
