No more bearing noise but I do have a quick question...

Does your trany feel a little hard to shift when the car is cold. My trans is a little "notchy" when I first get going but after 5 minutes it shifts like butter. Let me know!

Thank you for the follow-up post, and congrats on getting rid of the noise!

Not sure if experience with my 6spd would be relevant, but shifting is just fine both cold and after it gets warm...
