After Mt-90 (having Same Problem?)

its been 3 months since i put 3.7qts. of mt-90 in my 03 6speed transmission. yeah, there was less grinding but very little. and i know georgia isnt coldest state in U.S. 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th gear, depending on what day it is. seems like they just wont go in. its just not pleasant to drive. maybe nissan needs
to recall on their f*cked up transmission. can anyone tell me what the problem might be.

3.7qts?????? our 6-speed manuals only take roughly 2.5 quarts. I did mine the other day and it barely took the half of the 3rd quart.

gears won't go in during colder days?

Is it ok after you drive around for a while?

Maybe your clutch isn't disengaging all the way. Perhaps you need to adjust your clutch disengagement.

I think it's the Synthetic fluid. I can't pop my gears in when it's cold outside and when I first start to drive around. When car gets warm enough though, it's fine. I'm using Amsoil.
