So for The Transmission Fluid... Just To Make Sure
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JMAQ39G/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_s= lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00JMAQ3F0&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX 0DER&pf_rd_r=0QRK3X40Y79H9VZGYJVN"]Amazon.com: Pentosin (MTF2-1L) SAE GL-4 75W-80 Transmission Fluid - 1 Liter: Automotive[/ame]
This is the exact product for the reduction of that annoyance with first and 2nd gear....Or Reccomendation would be nice, old topics turned to wars and got confusing and hard to understand so i came up with this based off a half hour of reading

That's the stuff.
A couple of things to be aware of though...the spec'd fluid is 75W90, this is 75W80. If you have issues while this fluid in there, Toyota COULD use that against you (but it is fairly unlikely). Not everyone has had the results they were hoping for with this fluid (most have had good results though). I've tried a number of different products in mine, and this one seems to work best.

adjusting the clutch master pushrod should be done first to address any 1-2 shift issues prior to messing with the oil. You don't want to mask a dragging clutch disc with gear oil that makes the synchro's work harder/wear faster

I'm ready to order this stuff too. Had the same issue and went to the dealer; they changed the oil and said everything was as expected but I still have the same issue and now even 5th to 6th shifts are harder

I'm running the stock fluid that came with the car. It took a good 7-8K miles before things started to smooth out. I don't have any grinding and can shift slowly to 2nd even when dead cold, where as I had to double clutch to get it into gear before.
The things shifts like a hot knife thru butter when warmed up. This car was no different breaking in than the manuals I had in my vettes, both BW and Tremac. Those all took several thousand miles To smooth out and work better when cold. The BMWs and Hondas I have owned in the past were smooth from the get go.. Factory tolerances, machining.. Etc.. All matter.. That doesn't mean ours is Lacking or defective. I see many owners complaining and trying to fix things that aren't broken. A little patience goes a long way and will save you time and money.. My .02 and observations.. Quote:

No doubt. I've been on car forums for nearly 12 years. This site has, by far, the biggest group of clueless people. I understand it's a new platform and people are testing out different things, but some questions just leave me cringing.
