Hi, I picked up a cruze a few weeks ago and I changed the manual transmission fluid with 2.5qts of amsoil 75-90 manual transmission fluid as recomended on the forum for better shifting. I did not notice a difference at all when the transmission is warmed up and when the transmission is cold it is stiffer than it was before. But the dealer that I bought the car from looked like they put in fresh transmission fluid before they sold me the car.
I didnt pay much attention at first because I thought I just needed to get used to the car. But the more I drive it the more I realize that this transmission is a piece of crap.
At 25k miles It shifts like the syncros are blown out it acts more animic in the lower gears) but it shouldnt feel like that even if the car had 200k on the clock
My next step is to bring it back to the dealer and see if they can fix it or piss and moan until they put in a new transmission considering its still under its bumper to bumper waranty.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just used to buying junk $1000 cars and I spent the $$ to buy a practaly new car that Im having issues with expecting a turn key car.
It is nice not working on a rot box though lol
