Tranny handing up into gears MTX WHY?!?!

[1993MTXSHO]

im not sure, but i just switched mine to mobil 1 atf after my clutch job. at first it wasnt any better. but now its def a bit smoother. not a whole lot. but definately noticable. before i sometimes had issues even getting it into first. i had to jsut start in 2nd sometimes. it hasnt done that yet. instead it just takes a bit more effort and it pops in. although, i recently noticed that i have also developed a leak. which kinda ****** me off cause i dont know what its from. it could be cause of the transition to synthetic. but i suppose i could have also nicked that seal around the axles. havent looked into it yet. will let you konw what cause of leak is soon.

Id go with the change to syn becasue i have herd that with highmilage engines changing to syn can cause leaks im assuming id be the same with a tranny.
