Gear Oil C7
Hi there
my transmission shifts hard, i have already tried redline D4 and royal purple it has not improved much. Has anyone tried the Ravenol MTF2 here and can say something about it?

Two things to try:
1. Shifter alignment procedure (link below)
2. Clutch fluid flush

Maybe not "hard" but I would call it "firm".
Depends on what you've driven before as a point of comparison. I feel the shifter effort could stand to be reduced on the C7. I learned to drive stick in the 80s using Hondas and they flip into gear with minimal effort. Later on I got a VW that had a very rubbery feel to its shifts. Then my Nissan had a very positive feel that went it with a snap. Ever car is different.
I test drove three C7s because based on the first one I thought something was wrong. Turns out it was totally normal... and I just had to get used to it.
