manual civic shifts better when cold out side?
anyone here have a civic that goes into gear easier when its cold out and you have been driving less than 30 min?
as for cold im talking like 60ish (florida so ya thats cold to me) and if i drive around for like 15 min it shifts soooo smooth and easy but after like 30 min or if its hot out side like 90s it feels notchy and 2nd gear is like a detent then a notch and then in gear but if its cold none of that.
i googled it but it seams everyone else on the planet with any other type of car has an issue with it being harder to shift when cold so im totalsy confused
car info: stock d series carbon synchros and honda mtf

honda mtf is way too thin for these old transmissions. and it gets even thinner once it warms up..swap out the mtf for some syncromesh. problem solved.
