Anyone with a 2k2 6 speed find it harder to get in gear now that the temperatures have risen? Seems like from 88+ the shifter is hard to get in gear. Anything lower and it shifts like it use too.

 

I have an auto, but my car has definetly slowed down in the heat !

 

Given how bad I ran at the track in the heat last week, I won't even go there.

 

here in the bay area (northern ca) we've had several days of 90+ and I have not noticed any change in the shifter.

 

It was over 100 here in Albuquerque for a few days and has been in the upper 90's all month. I notice my shifting is a little tighter when its hot as well, but I still have a ways to go before the tranny is broken in, so hopefully it will smooth out.

 

We got into the upper 90's with 90% humidity last week and I did not notice a problem..

 

if anything, i feel like my shifter has gotten better lately with this heat.

 

Intresting?!.

I'm up to 10,000 miles on my baby so it is plenty broken in. I guess synthetic tranny oil is my next step. Were was that link to show how to do it yourself change the tranny fluid?

Thanks

 

the delrin ball that is used as the pivot point for the shifter, might be expanding in the heat.

 

2 words: redline mt-90

once you go redline you dont go back

 

The max thermostat said 102 and no difference in shifting.

 

I'm the same as Newman - with the summer heat, it seems like my shifter is smoother. I have 5500 miles on my car and perhaps it's more of the shifter breaking in than the heat.

 

Im here in Jersey where it has been hot as hell lately , i havent had any problems shifting...

 

my shifter is definitely smoother in the heat..
