Do you sometime find it harder to find/ shift into 5th gear compared to other gears?

Recently I've been feeling as if its a little harder to find or shift into 5th compared to other gears.

Anyone else feel this? Is this expected?

How long has it been since you serviced the tranny fluid. Use 75w90 GL4 fluid of your choice.

It was replaced about 2 months ago after the CSC was replaced. OEM fluids.

Flushing and refilling your transmission fluid can help improve the shifting of your transmission and help with the longevity of how long your transmission lasts. I highly recommend installing a short throw shifter. I highly recommend the Coolerworx shifter it is expensive but well worth it as it will greatly improve your shifting of your transmission overall with positive and smooth shifts. I had good experiences with the Coolerworx and Stillen short throw shifters with track duty and street duty. I have seen it for myself missing a shift can damage your transmission or cost you a transmission.

Yes, this is common, changing the transmission fluid will help reduce the difficulty but not eliminate it.
