After driving my civic, or my buddy's lude, when getting into my `98, my tranny seems like a total pain from 1st - 2nd. However, I did notice that right after changing the oil, it got totally better. (somebody explain this one?) I've only had it while it's been cold out tho, so I don't know how it acts in warm temp. conditions. I'm kind of concerned about getting the short shift adapter and cutting my lever because of this tho, as I'm terrified of trying to deal with my tranny shifting becoming even more difficult.

let us know what you find out.
