Reply to "ZF won't shift when cold?"

ANother source of stiff shifting is the accordial gasket sealing the cabin that the shifter shaft passes through. Often this gasket and the rod have hardened grease mixed with road debris and sand. It creates significant friction and softens as the car warms up. Cleaning the shaft and gasket can make for an impressive transformation.

I may be so bold as to say dirt in this location may be one of the biggest variables, I have seen, that explain why two Panteras can shift so differerently.
