Default 6 speed sticking

Over the summer I noticed the shifter severely sticking in 3rd as I pulled it into 4th. First I tried resetting the Hurst to only find that I transferred the problem to 4th. This in on a 2001 and I had changed the fluid in 03 to Amsoil ATF. After reviewing posts on the Forum I changed the fluid again using Amsoil ATF and the problem went away like magic. By the way I have 44K on the car.

I can tell you it wasn't the fluid. Most likely your 3-4 sychro keys broke and caused the sticking situation. It is just coincidence that sticking went away after the fluid change.
