Recently changed to Redline lubricants and was no help, this condition existed prior to changing fluids. This condition does not exist at start-up. Thought it might be the linkage needed greasing, but shifts fine into 3rd and 4th. Time for a transmission rebuild at 80k mileage, replace the synchros on first and second gears? Thanks in advance.
