Hi All - Weird situation. '88 LX. Within the last few days, I've noticed the Festy shifts like butter when first starting out, but within about 20 -30 minutes of driving (fully warmed up) it starts to get really knotchy. No grinding, just like someone put a quart of peanut butter in the gearbox. When stopped to pop into the store for 5 minutes, same thing. Come out to start. Easy to shift, then harder to shift when warmed up. Thanks!

Please.... Don't everyone reply at once. I don't want to take the site down:p. -
verify that you have ATF in your trans and not gear oil, also while you're checking, look for metal particles in the fluid.Trees aren't kind to me...
currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

Thanks for the "mercy reply"! Will do. The weirdness is that when cold it really does shift easy and relatively tight. I'll seach a few threads (being lazy) and see what I can find. Thought maybe someone had a "silver bullet" on this one. Just being sarcastic about the second comment
. Consider this one buttoned up.
