hard shifting
hey, after i changed the oil in my manual transmision, the shifting is different. i filled up oil through the side hole until it started to come out. but now when the car is off it shifts smooth and easy, but when car is running it becomes hard to get into 1 or even 2, but becomes easier when car starts moving. it wasnt like this before, so im guessing something went wrong during oil change.
imo its either there is too much oil or not enought. any ideas what could it be

^^^I personally wouldn't use Redline--I've heard so many bad stories about that stuff.
I used to have a bit of trouble getting into 1st in my EM1. I put in Honda's MTF Advanced Formula (comes in a grey bottle, bright green label, and a white cap,) and now my shifting is sooper smooth. Try it out.
