JO>To all - the first mild snap of cool weather brought about the same problem
JO>as last winter.

JO>If it is the slightest bit cool out the transmission in our TR6 becomes very
JO>difficult to shif until the transmission oil has been run for awhile.

JO>We are running non-brand GL4 which was changed out not 1000 miles ago (July)

JO>Cool here in Louisiana is only high 50's - this thing get impossible when it
JO>gets in the 30's.

JO>Any suggestions or bits of advise????????

JO>JoeSimcoe
JO>74 TR6
JO>TR 250 (project - but working on it)


Joe,
 Have you cleaned and lubricated the shift rods and linkages lately?
Could be that a little crud has built up under the shifter tube and is
binding.
 Problem may not be inside thetranny.
Regards,
Tony
