Hard shifts after tranny and diff fluid change

bwhipp · 11-24-2019, 02:36 PM

Got my tranny fluid and diff fluid changed at 80k miles and now I'm getting a rough at best to super difficult at worst shift from 1st to 2nd when its below freezing outside. I understand this 1st shift is typically rough, however, this never happened before i had the fluids swapped. I had an indy shop do the fluids, maybe they didn't fill tranny all the way? Appreciate any input.

Thanks!

What fluid did they put back in the transmission? If it was me, I would take it back to them and tell them that it's not right.
