Hey guys, I have a 2005 TL 6 speed MT, 127k miles. I was getting my oil changed the other day and was an idiot and agreed to allow the shop to change my transmission fluid. After they had already changed the fluid, it dawned on me to check this site and see if they were doing the right thing....stupid me.
The shop used Liqui Moly and said it meets the specifications for the car. Now my gears fell all types of sticky. My third gear has always been a little sticky sometimes, but now all of my gears stick, especially at low RPMs. If I'm on the highway, it's not as evident. But I live/work on an Army base and hardly take my car over 30 mph during the week, so I feel it all the time.
What can I do to remedy this situation? Did I hurt my baby? I've read quite a few threads on GM Synchromesh, and I'd like to re-do the fluid myself to save some money, but I don't have the necessary tools to get it done. I have a car care center here on base, but it's quite a small base, the car center has very few tools at my disposal, but they do have a lift, so I've got that going for me.
Thanks everyone for any and all feedback.
