Since acquiring her, Ramona has always displayed hard shifting from time to time. Sometimes, she's smooth, and sometimes I can't even downshift from 3rd to 2nd. She just won't go. I've had the trans gear oil checked/drained/replaced, but that didn't make a difference. My question is this: when I have the engine out and her guts exposed, how do I check on this problem? What do I look for? Is it something that I can check before removing the engine? Any ideas or similar fiascos? Y'know, she doesn't pop out of gear ever, but this thing with the tuff shifting is getting me all worried. HELP!!!!!!!sos!!!!!!! Again, thanks. Rach
