It's a "feature." I deal with it by not hurrying my shifts until things get warmed up. Just take it easy and don't force the lever.
I noticed in your sig you've switched to synthetic tranny fluid (I have, too)... By chance, did you add a dash of Ford Friction Modifier? It's part of the "official" tranny fluid mix (per TSB, don't remember the number), and supposedly leaving it out prevents the syncros from working as well as they could (this is one instance where friction is a good thing 
).
Since you report the shifting is fine after warming up, I suspect you used the friction modifier. Just had to ask.Garrick, maaaan, I so hope you're right. I really don't need to cough up big $$$ for a tranny re-build right now. My stock shocks are on the way out and I was eyeing the BAT suspension kit.
Have you had this "feature" since new (assuming you bought it new)? I've only had mine for about 15 mos.
I didn't add the Ford Friction Modifier when I did the synthetic MTF switch. I thought that was used in combination with regular tranny fluid? I was under the impression that once you went to an all synthetic fluid, that you didn't need that stuff.
Correct me if I am mis-informed...again.
Thanx!
