its only when the car is extremely cold, like only the first 5-10 shifts and then after that smooth as a babys cheeks.

Im only worried because i am going to brp tomorrow for an event and i dont want to further mess up anything

any advice?
The Redline MT85 is your problem. Our transmission use a GL4 75W90. You are experiencing what many people have. At Nissan, they had a TSB about it a long time ago. You notice it is tuff to shift when it is cold outside. Change to a 75W90 GL4 fluid and it will go away.

Not an issue, It will just be stubborn shifting it until it warms up.
