[urq] Gear Shift Lever

get that tranny warmed up, remove the fill plug first, then both drain 
plugs, and dump the gear oil, be sure you have 4 quarts of Redline synthetic 
80-90w GL-4 gear oil on hand to fill it back up (3.4 quarts) and a way to 
put the stuff in,(rose gun works well) you will love the difference. my '83 
URQ black bitch and my Son's '86 4000CSQT with 300BHP beast run synthetic 
gear oil, the notchy feeling when cold is gone. Bestus, Bill

Subject: [urq] Gear Shift Lever


1986 Audi 4 door Quattro with 282,000km.

In cold weather the gear shift lever is hard to pull into 2nd gear, when 
rolling at 10km/hr the gear shift lever hard to put into 1st gear, putting 
into 2nd gear will work but little vibration because Tacho shows < 1200rpm. 
When running for 15 minutes no problem with shifting, never problem shifting 
into any other gear at any temperature.
Would change of 80/90 transmission oil help to shift smoothly?
