Changing the fluid in the tranny did wonders for my shifting.
Might be worthwhile to note for those who have not smelled MT fluid and are contemplating doing this....the new stuff smells the same...has to do with the chemical-makeup of the fluid. I just mention this so that people don't get the ideal that a "smell" indicates old or dirty fluid. The stuff stinks new or old
