Here's the background: notchy in all gears, occassionally couldn't get into any gear when stopped at red light or toll booth, ack!
Ford serviced with new tranny.. same problem. Can't tell if they put the right fluid in, was not really honey colored or red, sort of in between.
But here's what happened: I replaced fluid with Redline D4 ATF + friction mod according to the cocktail and shifter got 80% better immediately. About 5 days later I accidentally pulled out into traffic after long day at work in 3rd and ended up burning the clutch a bit to get going. Now it shifts great! Really smooth in all gears and no getting caught in neutral anymore (so far).
Can anyone explain this? I don't know enough..
