my IX was notchy (especially 2nd and 3rd) even with 6k miles. so, i just changed the tranny oil to bg synchroshift and changed the underhood shifter bushing to the brass ones and its so much smoother now.

My 1st - 2nd gear is nasty as hell (shifting through a pile of rocks). Going into third it feels like I hit a rock. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it goes away.
1.6k miles so far on my IX

I explained my concern to the tech and he test-drove it, claimed it was "normal for these cars, as long as it wasn't grinding..it would be fine".

mine is a little bit notchy sometimes in second or third but I only have 1600miles on my car, but its not that bad. I noticed it shifts a lot better at WOT, its really only notchy when I granny shift at low RPM's

does anyone else have this prob?
When driving in say stop and go like a stop sign or traffic. With the car being a 1st or 2nd in rpms below 2k when you let off the gas the car kinda lurches back and forth. Feels like the engine is slowing and catching itself.
This happens everytime and only when I am not on any of the 3 pedals. The rpm meter kind of drops down in stages. I have 2300 miles and never launched car whatsoever babying the hell out of it.
Care to help out?

break the car in biotches, then swap the fluid for pennzoil syncromesh and your problems will dissapear. but remember with syncromesh u should probably change it around 7k intervals and maybe even 5k if u compete.
