Stock power, no trans oil change. The car could have had some gear grinding by the original owner. I purchased certified preowned from a dealership. The older lady who owned it may have shifted poorly. Fifth gear was always hard to get into. Feels like that gear was missed before, but I thought I read that this was a common issue and not necessarily mine. At redline it is particularly hard to get into some of the gears, especially fifth but even with the whiteline transmission bushing I figured the torque is causing twisting that makes it hard to get into gear. I tend to like a sharp notchy feel but I don't want to feel like im forcing poprly fitting metal parts past each other.
