Just gave the Max its first oil change with synthetic last night and decided to take it for a rip afterwards when I noticed a problem with the shifter. In neutral when you move the shifter laterally left so you can engage either 1st or 2nd the feeling is quite "gravelly" (for lack of a better word) and it makes a scraping sound. All the gears engage smoothly (except 4th which has never been great) Any ideas? No big deal for now and I'll just add it to the list of things to check when I get the control arm recall done
