So is the 75w80 the correct weight for Pentosin?

Cool. I'm in Phoenix now and a friend of mine works at Autohaus that Gem linked on the front page. No discounts on this stuff but at least I avoid shipping to Portland since I couldn't find any of this there.

i noticed that sometimes i'm having trouble engaging 1st and 2nd, even after warmup. it'll engage after i put it into another gear then back. i haven't hard the car long enough to notice if this is more noticeable during cold starts yet but will be paying attention now.
also when i go from 2nd to 3rd, 3rd would be a bit grindy unless i make an effort to shift into the area between 3rd and 5th if that makes any sense. this is consistent. does it seem like a change of fluid would help in my situation? |

I went with Amsoil in the tranny and the dif as linked below and I'm very pleased. It is not going to be buttery as the Pentosin. I wasn't really looking for that, though. With the Amsoil at the recommended weight, shifts are somewhat smoother than stock, but the difference is not enormous. I recommend it if you aren't trying to correct a problem you have on the factory fill. If you're really looking to change the tranny behavior before warm up it's probably not what you want.
