Hate to reive such an old thread but I wanted to mention that this problem is still going on. I've had it at the dealership twice -- first time they told me to stop driving like a girl (haha), added some trans fluid and adjusted the linkage. Second time they replaced the entire shift mechanism, and now, the third time is scheduled for this Monday.

I cannot shift to or from 2nd without extreme difficulty and it's driving me NUTS.


edit: I've printed the TSB regarding insufficient lubricant on the tranny shaft splines and will be bringing it with me.

I really REALLY hope this time I can get it fixed. I'm going to have to get a print out of each time I was at the dealership too.. since this will be trip number 3 regarding the same thing. Number 4 is going to be the last straw for me and I will have to persue the lemon law

A car this good should not shift this terribly..
