I noticed that the second or third transmission fluid change helped even more. I think getting out all of the original OEM fluid is the reason here. I think this may be the reason that some people say, "fluid A didn't do it for me, so I got it out after 1000 miles and put in fluid B and now everything is great." I am using Amsoil, and will probably change it again in the spring.

The transmission shifts super smooth after warm up. I have no trouble with first gear, but 2nd is a pain in my car that needs quite a bit of warm up to work well. In the winter with cold starts (no garage), I sometimes just skip 2nd gear altogether until the transmission is fully warmed up.
