 Indeed.=C2=A0 My thinking as to why it goes away when warm is this:
If the splines are dry or if the grease gets ladened with dirt and such the=
y will stick a bit.=C2=A0 As the car warms up it is because it is being dri=
ven which will loosen up the stickiness and it will start to behave better =
until it sits a while and cools off.
