Manual transmission users: do any of you have a balky or stiff shift linkage when your car is cold? On my 1999 V70, even when warmed up, sometimes it is hard to shift into reverse. The shift has been like this since new. To not force anything, I wiggle the stick and go into another gear first, like third or fourth. Then it will move more easily into reverse. I am pretty sure it is not the transmission itself because I recently changed the oil with the stock Volvo lube. This oil is rather thin compared to traditional gear oil, thicker than ATF, but thinner than 75/90 weight. I think the problem is with the cable linkage. Are there pulleys or tubes that the wires go through? Is there anything to lubricate or spray? Thanks!
