Transmission very notchy when cold

[2013 5.0 deep impact]

I have a 2013 gt 6 speed. Is any else's tranny very notchy and hard to shift when cold

Yup. Supposedly, changing to better fluid will make it better. I'm not too concerned, I just shift slow until it gets warm.

Mine seems to do the same thing.... Especially when shifting into 4th for some reason. Has been really cold here though. I have only driven the car a couple times, and It still needs to be broken in a bit so its hard for me to know what "normal" feels like. I'm not concerned about it though. Good luck with yours!!!

I believe there is a known 'issue' with shifting from 3rd to 4th. But I never followed it too closely since I have an auto.

There's a TSB for the 2011+ on this. Take it to your dealership and they'll put better fluid in so it's a bit smoother in the cold. I also have three quarts of the fluid leftover from my Mustang if anyone's interested in replacing the fluid themselves.
