Hello,
I had the clutch replaced about one year/15,000 miles ago. I recently changed the transmission fluid because it was getting hard to shift into first gear (and I change it every year). I tried Mobil 1 and it was too slippery (missing shifts) so I put in Pennzoil ATF (no more missed shifts). Now it is getting really hard to shift into first gear. Everyone says use Redline MTL. How do I know if it is the fluid or some adjustment?

Also what do you think about what Grimshaw says?

Please help.
